[Hallicrafters] SX-115 3 of them

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

That was actually Greg's quote, Roger. I wrote of one that sold
sometime later for a tad over $6K on ebay. That seemed to be the crest
of the wave online, as prices have been slowly declining since. I've
seen several go in the $500-$800 range in the last year or so. There
was a time they would've brought $2K minimum. I think I got mine
around '98, just before the big ebay feeding frenzy kicked up.
Original owner, original manual, original box. It even had all the
original Hallicrafters tubes installed, and a spare rolling around in
the bottom that I needed to complete the set inside my SX-62B. That
was a truly weird moment.
