[Hallicrafters] SX-88

I did know about the SX-73 knob but had always disregarded it due to the  sk
irts being different and I just completely forgot about it. Charlie's  
reproduction skirt now makes the SX-73 tuning knob a viable option as Todd  
pointed out and Todd gets credit for submitting the correct information. I stand 
 corrected; we want accurate information here to provide good assistance to 
folks  who are asking for help and to further promote the enjoyment of 
Hallicrafters  equipment among all of us.

Nick, it appears you are attempting to incite,  instigate, disturb and 
disrupt the list by posting messages which were sent to  you personally, not to 
the list. This is the second time you have done this so I  forwarded copies 
to Duane to alert him of your irresponsible behavior and total  disregard 
for the rules only so he might keep an eye on things in case the flame  war 
you are attempting to ignite gets started and creates an unnecessary  
disruption to the list and a lot of unwanted bandwidth in everyone's  mailbox.

Greg Gore; WA1KBQ

Its good to  know that there are knowledgeable people that know that the  
SX-88 and  SX-73 share the SAME Tuning knob minus the skirt.I was accused 
by 
this   'SX-88 expert' that I have 'limited practical experience' .
Obviously he  doesn't know himself  whats he's talking about.

You can't make a blanket statement like that based solely  upon your  
limited practical experience. There are differences between  production 
runs  for 
example. I have around fifty NOS .047's here that  test OK for  example. My 
own personal practical experience has shown if  the caps have  had any 
significant voltage on them for a period of time  they will usually be  
found to have 
degraded. Like I said, I tested  everything and replaced the  capacitors 
that leaked. If the caps in the  IF filter needed to be  replaced I would 
have 
replaced them. They were  practically out in the  open and I was pretty 
deep 
into that  job.

so do  the  AVC and Cathode bypass caps they don't have any significant    
voltages across them either but they are plagued with leaakage   just  like 
all 
the other capacitors in the   rcvr.

That's  not   correct, they tested OK probably because they don't have  
voltage on  them.

Interestingly the guy  didn't replace  the  black  beauities mounted on the 
wafer  switches (that control the IF  passband).They  are just as bad as 
the  

other.

Yes,  superb. Looks pristine. I'm an SX-88  novice:  what are the  
unlabelled
hrome knobs beneath each tuning  dial used  for?
If I had  this, plus the Tek 570 tube tester  currently on  auction, I would
ie    happy.

Way too  rich for my blood, but it looks like someone did  a  lot of 
detailed 

estorative work on it.
