[Hallicrafters] SX-88

Back in the late ' 50s, I had a 6900 that I used with an Apache and SB-10.  
I thought it was the cat's meow and loved the tuning. The rich kid down the 
 block had Gold Dust Twins and I used to hate the mechanical filter "ring" 
that  the A-4 emitted. Matter of fact, one night we were chasing some DX on 
10 meters  and coordinating on the twisted pair. I was hearing a number of 
stations with my  6900 and 10 meter plumber's delight beam mounted on the 
chimney that he was not  hearing with his 50 foot tower mounted Telrex beam and 
the A-4. I never let him  forget it!
 
I am fortunate to have a pair of 6900s and 6901s in my collection. I still  
think they are great receivers.
