[Hallicrafters] Re: The radio hoarder

what have I hoarded?

Well there's the SX-101A and the HT-37 with the solid state rectifier. 
I also have an R-47 speaker.  That's about it for Hallicrafters.

Is that a hoard?  I don't think so.

I don't use the SX-101A or the HT-37 so I'm considering giving them to a 
guy who's working on his General.  He's "this close" to making it. 
Passed the theory but just can't do the 5.

I do have more than my share of Heathkits though.  It's not that I'm 
crazy about them, it's that for the price, I can't pass them up.

I think the SB-303 is a better receiver than the SX-101.  Sorry but 
that's how it looks to me.  Better frequency calibration, more stable, 
just as sensitive, and better filters.  Crystals beat LC filters.

The 101A has the notch.  I don't use it.

The 101A has a smoother sound though.

It seems to me that even Collins is way undervalued.  75S-1's are going 
for about $300.  Seems that it should be more.
