[Hallicrafters] SX-88

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

Was it Eric Schaulkhauser's or Russ Planck's humor sometimes found in  the 
equipment manuals? In one of the manuals it stated the controls are not  
marked because experienced radio men have no need for control  markings. And in 
the RME-9D manual...You will notice we did not  include alignment 
instructions. Any competent serviceman will already know how  to align a superhet. If 
you're looking for instructions you have no business  inside an RME.

Hi  Ed,

You can add one more!  I have a 6901 (along with a  6900)

Don't remember what I paid for it.

My only other claim to  fame is (even though the 6900 may have been past 
their time)
is I knew  both Eric Schaukhauser and also Russ Planck (sp)

Had lunch with them  many times and enjoyed their RME stories many times..

JUST wish I would  have paid more attention to both as they were real 
terasures!!

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?!
