[Hallicrafters] SX-17 S Meter interchangeability

[jeremy-ca]

Thanks for getting back to me Bill.

I dont understand the PC board reference, the scale is paper thin.

What did that other meter come from? The scale is correct but it isnt from a 
SX-17.

Also, how do you tell between early and late production models? Serial # or 
circuit tracing? SAMS lists both versions.

The only meters that appear similar are the SX-16, SX-24, SX-25, S-27 and 
S-32. Ive probably missed a few variations of those. The SX-28 is different 
as it has a "normal" left hand zero rest.
