Hi Greg,

   Thanks for the pictures of your restored SX-28A - very nice looking.  A friend recently bought a SX-28A at the local hamfest for me (he knew I have a couple of Hallicrafters) for $75 - a good buy.  It looked good at first glance with even the "A" on the front panel.  However a previous owner made many, many changes, even adding a tube underneath.  Fortunately although he moved wires from one area to another he didn't cut any to a shorter length.  Also he did not remove any of the cut terminal wrappings which are a pain to remove.
   Fortunately I have another SX-28A which I worked on a couple of years ago and I have it up-side-down next to the 'new' receiver and am comparing wire-by-wire and I go.  It would be much more time consuming if I had to use the schematic.
   Which all brings me to a question - would you happen to have any "spare" SX-28 speaker and antenna binding posts?  I need not only those but the bakelite pads under the posts.
   Thanks again for the pictures.

73,  Skip  W7WGM
