Guys,
In the late eighties, I bought a SR 400 A with HA 20 out of the Ham
Trader Yellow Sheets. (Remember them?)
When I received it I discovered it had been thru the hands of Bob
Orwin.(W9YKA. I think. Can't read his handwriting) in 1986.
Formerly an engineer with Hallicrafters.
It had been "converted?" to be used as a CB xceiver!
The owner Jack Jasensky KD9NA, had sent it to Bob to be fixed.
There were a few improvements made by Bob and this radio is really
fantastic. The Rx, especially, is nice.
Quiet and very sensitive.
I received all the notes Bob had made on the repair, as well as a two
page letter, an invoice for the repairs, and a note from
Jack KD9NA to Ron, the guy I bought it from. (Don't remember his last
name or call)
I have reproduced all this into a single file.
If someone could tell me how, I would upload it to the Hacrafters
Collectors site as well as here in the Files section,
so it can be downloaded.
I have been sitting on this info for too long now.
This thread on the SR 400A reminded me and I decided to get it copied
and uploaded before I forgot. Again.
73,
Chuck KA6UUP
