[Hallicrafters] SX-28 Restoration Photos

[Carl]

Very, very nice Brian.

Perhaps you can provide some hints on what was used on the metal to clean 
and refinish.

I did a full electrical overhaul on my first one but did a less extensive 
job on the top. Im contemplating on taking the second one to the next level 
and use that instead with the pre WW2 HT-9.

Why Hallicrafters didnt paint the SX-28 chassis to match the HT-9 or to copy 
National I'll never understand.
I might be tempted to do just that.
