[Hallicrafters] TR-7A

[Ronald Oberloh]

Hi Dan and all that read this,

If you have a TR-7 with all the options you have a TR-7A .  Drake would 
retrofit TR-7's and make them into TR-7A's from the factory.  There was 
only one circuit change which was not a plug-in  which was a protection 
diode on the input and of course then there was the piece of mylar that 
slips into the front naming the unit as a TR-7A.  

The serial  tag on the back will tell you if the unit was originally a 
TR-7 or TR-7A because that piece was not changed.     I have a TR-7 that 
was turned into a TR-7A.  Drake sent a manual with a sticker in it that 
stated that the unit had been factory configured as a TR-7A from a TR-7.

So now how about a post about all the Collins KWM-2's that have been 
changed into KWM-2A's and changed from wing to round emblem for the sole 
purpose of  resale value.

I bet you that nobody every made a fake SX-88.
