[Hallicrafters] Silver panel S-36A -- and Parts Available

[Mike Everette]

I encountered something today that hasn't ever been
mentioned here before, to my knowledge, and wonder if
anyone else has seen one: An S-36A with a silver
panel.

We've heard about silver or "chrome" SX-28 receivers,
and I have seen pictures of them; but never a 36...
well, this one came out of an estate.  Unfortunately
the radio is not complete, missing the entire front
end assembly and the S-meter; but the panel is indeed
silver, and I don't think it's an overspray job. 
There is a small patch of missing paint on the panel,
and underneath it's some sort of anodized brassy or
gold looking finish; but no sign of black paint.  Both
sides are silver.  The control markings are not filled
in with a dark color.  The dial bezel is the usual
black.

Right now I'm thinking of using the knobs, binding
posts  and audio gain control to restore an S-37 that
came from the same place; but the rest of it will
probably be parted out.  The whole power supply, IF
cans etc and the tubes outside the front end are all
there and in real good condition as far as I can tell.
If someone wants the whole unit, as-is and less the
knobs I need, let me know.  That includes the silver
panel.  I also have a case for it.  Beware, this is
heavy.  Shipping wouldn't be cheap.

Anyone else ever seen one like this?
