The SX-24 is probably OK on 160-80-40 meters, but a mite deaf on Band 4.
It's a bit easier to align than the SX-25, since there's only one RF stage to worry with and so the tracking problem is less formidable.
Restoring an SX-24, however, is a good learning-curve for doing an SX-25.
In case you weren't aware, the SX-24 begat the SX-99 and SX-110. Same basic design. I'm sure some earlier Halli model was morphed into the SX-24 (the SX-15 perhaps?) but the lineage escapes me at the moment.
But you're right... I'm going to say it: "Use the HRO." There is no comparison.
