[Hallicrafters] SX-17 Receiver

[Bill Gerhold]

I have a very nice SX-17 receiver and am quite familiar with the receiver.
I was looking at one of the more popular BA sites and there is an SX-17 for
sale that I noticed had a strange protuberance to the upper right of the
main tuning dial.  Not knowing what it was, I read some of the descriptive
text about the receiver and the seller states "this one has the optional
dial light" installed.

I was unaware the SX-17 was sold with an optional dial light for the main
tuning dial.  A nice idea but, was such an option available?  The only dial
lights I am aware of are the "S" meter and the Band spread dial.  Anyone
know the answer to this one.  Chucks book does not note this.
