[Hallicrafters] SX-28 competitors in the 1940's

[Gary Pewitt]

Aside from the SX-28 itself the RCA AR-88 was a very good receiver if you 
could get one.  Most went overseas to our allies.
I sure like mine.  It has audio just as good as my SX-28A.  Other fine 
receivers of that time were the National NC2-40 and the Hammarlund 
Superpro.  Two to three hundred dollars was an awful lot of money back 
then.  Can't get much for that price today unless you buy a nice old 
boatanchor and fix it up.  8^)
