[Hallicrafters] Another SX-28 and prices

Absolutely correct, I once invested a lot of time in  an SX-28 also before 
realizing that.

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.
