[Hallicrafters] SX-110 sideband reception

[GARDGORE at aol.com]

It is interesting to note the SX-110/ S-108 series can trace their lineage 
back to the SX-99/ S-85 as Glen mentioned but also to the S-40 before that which 
was really the old S-20R with updated styling. The SX-99 is really an S-85 
with s-meter and crystal filter I think. I always thought the S-20R might have 
been the hands down winner in 1939 to offer the most performance for the least 
amount of money spent. Just think about it; 9 tube performance including an RF 
stage and two stages of IF, a self contained transformer operated power 
supply, built in speaker, a calibrated main tuning dial with weighted inertia 
tuning, electrical bandspread, illuminated dials, bandswitching .545 to 44MC, 
Dickert noise limiter and 3 position tone control all for $49.50!
