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

[Gary Pewitt]

Ed, my Scott SLRM's are Gray with a circular dial that looks similar to the 
type used on an SX-28.  It has a built in speaker on the left side although 
I have seen them without the speaker too.  It is an AC DC set.  115v AC or 
DC.  With this radio you wouldn't have needed a vibrator power supply.  The 
RBO (also by Scott) has a sliderule dial with a semicircular insert at the 
top indicating 0 to 100.  It is marked 115v 60 cycles AC so it is probably 
what you had.  The SLRM's have knobs on the front to pull it out of the 
cabinet where the RBO has rack handles.  It's very interesting hearing 
about the great reception up on top of the world.  Pretty damn cold 
though.  My hat is off to all the merchant sailors who made the Murmansk 
run.  Or any run for that matter.  You guys took more casualties than the 
navy and never got the recognition or benefits.  Is it really true that 
when your ship was sunk your pay was stopped until you signed on another 
ship?
