[Hallicrafters] SX-62A oddity

[Robert Nickels]

I decided to do an alignment on my SX-62A (mark 2) but found something 
odd.  There was a metal shield covering most of the IF circuitry (and a 
couple of the bottom slugs I needed to adjust) that isn't shown on any 
of the manuals I've got for the SX-62, -62A or -62B.   The shield is 
professionally made and looks like it belongs, but has to be unsoldered 
(with a BIG iron) to get at these parts, which sure doesn't sound 
Hallicrafters-like.  Nor does is seem like something the average SWL 
would do...and there are no other mods.  Just wonder if anyone else has 
ever run into this?
