[Hallicrafters] SX-88

[Ed Tanton]

My goodness Bob!!! That IS a rare birdie indeed. I once bought a nice '6900
JUST to get the speaker!!! That makes yours and mine the only 2 I've ever
seen/heard for sale! THAT '6900 went along with some Gonset stuff (a VERY
nice G-76 with matching PS) in a trade for the excellent condition NCL2000 I
have that was converted as a project (effectively) by Svetlana into a pair
of 4CX400s. A thing I would never, ever countenance. However it was already
done, and a beautiful job of it they did. You cannot tell they weren't
original. So, I still have my original '6900 and the added '6901. Very nice
pieces, aren't they?!
