[Hallicrafters] SX-100 (and SX-96) microphonics

[Chris Kepus]

I suppose broaching this subject is like beating the 1000th dead horse!!!
(apologies to PETA).

But,...  since I have a nice SX-100 that mostly goes unused except as a
remotely mounted monitor because of them dang Microphonics thingies, I have
to ask, does anyone have a SX-100 that's not microphonic?  If the answer is
yes, please share whatever you did to cure it.

What's a bit odd to me is that my S-76, which is one of favs, is not
microphonic.  Is it, a the song suggests, just "physical"?

Listening mode back on.

73 and tnx,
Chris

"The biggest issue I recall with the SX-96 (which I used as a nain receiver
for years) is microphonics, especially on 15 and 10 meters.  If someone
knocked on the front door at my house, it could be heard in the speaker.
The next biggest was that if my foot hit the table, the receiver was likely
to lose the frequency of the signal.  

You learned breath control when using one.  That skill comes in handy if
you're a swimmer, or a singer."  YES!!!! LOL!!!
