The Sherwin-Williams formula for the gray used on the HT-37, SX-111, etc. can be 

found at

Please note that this is for 1 quart.  The only formula in the article that is 

for 1 gallon is the Collins S-Line cabinet.  This is "spelled out" in the 

article.  However, a couple of people didn't read the whole article!



Any paint store can use this formula and produce a quart of the correct color 

paint.



Since Hallicrafters (and most other radio companies as well) did NOT prime the 

cabinets before painting I seriously recommend completely stripping the cabinet, 

priming, and then applying the color.  If you paint over the original often the 

paint will start to flake off and that makes for an even larger job.

I just purchased a HT37 that needs some minor repair, electricly. The paint is 

chipped rather badly around the front edge of the case but can be repainted 

easily. The front is dirty but needs nothing and all the knobs are in very good 

condition. My question, does anyone have the proper paint code for this 

transmitter?? and what paint company code?

 

Just a note, I have a SX111 that also needs paint and could use a good tuning 

knob. It's not too bad but the edge is broken in one spot. I also found a Dow 

Key relay in a box of items that I bought at a hamfest several years ago so I'm 

excited a bit to get them on the air.
