[Hallicrafters] Fw: sx-24

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

Condition really affects pricing on this one. If the chassis is clean,  
meaning no rust (70 years of accumulated dust and grime is expected, however)  
with no extra unauthorized holes or modifications added and the cabinet 
still  has good original paint the price is good, especially with that PM-23 
speaker.  And as Carl mentioned much more so if the PM-23 has the deco "h" on 
the front.  If it still has its original wax paper capacitors you might want 
to seriously  think about replacing them before you place it into service. 
 
Things to look for: if it still has its original rubber power cord and  
paper "Important" tag fastened to the bottom these are good signs it  has not 
been passed around a lot. Another thing to look at is the black S-meter  
housing. They were made of pressed brass and due to distributed stress from the  
stamping operation they are often found now split and spread out like  
petals on a tulip but not always; you are fortunate if yours is still  OK.
 
The SX-24 was introduced in 1939 as a serious step up from the S-20R and it 
 was a big improvement with its better mechanical construction, S-meter and 
a  crystal filter for improved selectivity. SX-24 had one RF stage and 
single ended  audio output but none-the-less performance was still very good on 
all but the  highest band. Model SX-25 was introduced one year later in 1940 
having a similar  physical appearance but with two stages of RF and 
push-pull audio output.
