[Hallicrafters] SX-88 Value Controversy Continues

[Harry Vaught, KT4AE]

My point, perhaps poorly delivered, was that no one's mind will be 
changed about the SX-88 no matter how much wrangling takes place.  This 
is an emotional issue of collecting so it doesn't matter whether or not 
the SX-88 is the best radio or whether or not litz wire is used in the 
IF transformers.

I used to tell my wife that if there was a fire, I'd save her, the dog, 
our son, my .45 automatic and my copy of "Frank Sinatra and Count Basie 
at the Sands" - not necessarily in that order.  I didn't have my SX-100 
in those days.  No amount of intellectual analysis could tell me what to 
do in that case.
