[Hallicrafters] Another SX-28 and prices

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

That is absolutely amazing!  Anybody have a guess as to who "Collinsham" in 
Florida is?  You have to ask yourself, would YOU do that much work for $2k? 
Deducting the cost of the basic radio, he's working well under minimum wage. 
Yeah yeah, I know it a labor of love etc.   I tend to put the SX-28 in the 
same category as an older SP-600.  Once you DO (properly) one, you never 
want to do it again.

My only question is, Why white dials?  I've seen some beautiful amber 
reproductions that look like the originals.  Although.....it might be neat 
to put amber bulbs behind the dials and meter.   The SX-28 that W3HM has is 
a similar restoration and has the correct amber dials.  I'm not sure how 
much he's asking for it but I don't think it's $2k.
