In addition to my listing of 2 days ago, I offer the following:
My basic description for the most part holds. A couple of small exceptions - for a better choice of words.......
The hinged cover has a 2 x 3 inch light stain - I used a windex type cleaner only to see if that would remove it and that was it – I left it alone. It looks like some liquid was placed on it and made the mark. It is not a gummy or anything messy - just a stain. The hinged cover fastens to main radio as new from Factory. There is one light scratch on the hinged cover also – very narrow and again could easily filled in with gray color and hardly be seen.
The flat black frame that goes around the frequency glass has a few small-light flakes of paint off – such that if we took a black felt tip pen, they would all but disappear. They are not any kind of gouges into the
metal.
The Notch Depth knob is the knob/lettering that is in rough shape as mentioned in my posting.
Lettering is basically FB as I said earlier - except on the Power Knob-all the letters are not in good condx.
The top of the black border around the front that goes to the back - there are a few normal very light scratches in front up on top - the rest is virtually nice condition for its age.
Power Cord is xlnt condx.
Back panel is good - All indentifying words/letters are good plus still has paper
Factory ID stickers attached.
There is no rust.
Tuning Dial Glass face – all excellent
Frequency display – all excellent
Switch contacts are clean
Rubber Feet are very good
All controls/switches such as AVC/Xtal Calibrator/ANL and etc, are in working condx
Speaker sold separately
The Speaker is a Hallicrafter R-48 in its original cabinet – there are fine scratches on areas of the cabinet – wiring very solid – still has factory id tag attached. The Black grill in front with all the holes and Hallicrafter name plate is in excellent condition.
I wanted to add to my posting - I'm not running the rig down by any means - It is a beauty and the sensitivity/selectivity plus Audio is just great !! I merely wanted to be up front with my representation of it and that's hard to do in a single posting - Hi
All in all it's in good condx for its age ! Really, if it didn't have some of these small scars, we would wonder where it has been all these years - Hi Hi
I'm not a tech by any means - all the functions I ran it through were good !
This radio is for “Pick Up Only”
Asking $300 SX-101A
$45 R-48 Speaker
Thanks for reading, 73, Lyle WB0MHH
