[Hallicrafters] SX-62 question

[jeremy-ca]

This a SX-62A as marked on the front panel Todd.

Since it works well I probably wont have to worry too much about a failure 
requiring tracing out a circuit that doesnt agree with the schematic. I'll 
just recap the known trouble areas that several have pointed out.

Listened to the blues on WUML (U Mass Lowell) for an hour and shut it off, 
no sense in pushing my luck.

Deerfest is getting close but this great weather can last! Where exactly 
will you be setup on Friday?
