[Hallicrafters] Need manual/schematic for SX-101

[Jim Atkins]

Mine only has the nominal 1.8 - 2 MHz coverage.

Looking at a schematic from a MK I the only obvious difference I see is mine 
has a 12BY7 as the first oscillator while the MK I has a 12AU7 in that slot.

I will investigate other sources for a manual. I can probably find one if I 
dig hard enough and am willing to pay for it, :-).
