[Hallicrafters] SR-500

[W4AWM at aol.com]

The SR-500 "Toronado" is a triband transceiver. But you are correct,  the 
SR-500 is also a console containing the rigs you described. It sold for  
$1495.00. The dimensions are 48.5" H X 44,75" W  X  22" D.
It had a built in operating desk and a sloping top which was 18" deep. The  
HT-30 and SX-100 are mounted so that they slope at a convenient angle away 
from  the operator. It had many safety features, antenna controls and 
connectors,  power distribution with a built in 30A fuse block, spare power 
outlets, rotator  outlets and a main key controlled switch. It was built only in 
1955. Several are  known to still exist, one rumored to be at the Vatican.
