[Hallicrafters] SR-1000

[David Thompson]

Hallicrafters made both the SR-500 and the later SR-1000.  A special version
of the SR-1000 was delivered to HV1CN Vatican City by Bill Halligan W9AC and
Maxwell Meyers W2BIB in about 1963.  The SX 101 was replaced with the
SX-115.  I was very active back then and never worked one except HV1CN.

The earlier SR-500 with the HT-30 TX, SX100 RX and 500 watt amp was
installed at Police Radio at ET3RS.  This rig was one the air and Rundy W3ZA
worked many in the USA.  He and the HB9 who worked for Interpol used the TX
(20 watts) and amp but used a 75S1 RX.  I have a 1959 Harrison Catalog with
the SR-500 displayed on the used equipment page.

Someone might ask Leo W0GFQ (he is still active at 95 or so) if he ever
remembers selling the Sr-1000.

According to Rundy the little desk (in front of the RX) was quite small
...it was a pull out type.  The SR-1000 and SR-500 had the same cabinet
desk.

Several years ago on boatanchors (at the porch.com) someone had found an
Sr-500 but everything was in need of restoration. Note there was a later
SR-500 Transceiver

> I was taking a look back-in-time thru the catalog section in the 1957 ARRL
Handbook and saw the ad for a Hallicrafters SR-1000 HF station. It included
a SX-101 receiver, HT-32 xmtr and a HT-33 amplifier all housed in a
beautifully styled, slanted-front, metal (free-standing) desk/cabinet.

curious as to what it sold for, how many were manufactured (how many are
left) and did it operate as sweet as it looks in the photo?

selling glass pop bottles and my 25 cent/month allowance would have been
enough to buy one. My cat-wisker galena crystal radio would have to do.
