[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters SX-24 opinions

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

Well put Joe, A good SX-24 is approximately a $100 receiver  so you would 
have to weigh whether value of physical and cosmetic condition  over rides 
your need for space.

Decent receiver but not up to the standard of  receivers of the same 
approximate vintage like the Hallicrafters SX-28 and the  Hammarlund SP-200. With 
only one RF stage, it's not quite as good as the  Hallicrafters SX-25. I 
don't have an HRO so I can't compare. Selling is  attractive but they're pretty 
plentiful so you may not be able to get all that  much for it.

>Now that I am spending most of my time in NW Arkansas to build  our 
retirement home I have time to go through my collection to determine what  I do 
and don't want to keep as I must downsize.  Today, much to my  surprise, I 
discovered a Halllicrafters SX-24 which I didn't realize I  had.  Considering I 
already have more receivers than transmitters with  which to pair, I am 
curious to get opinions about the SX-24.  It's in  very good cosmetic 
condition, although the plastic covers over the S-meter and  bandspread dial need to 
be replaced.  Since it's from the late 30's I  thought I might pair it with 
my Stancor 110C transmitter but I had been  planning on using an HRO for 
that purpose.  Please give me your candid  thoughts on the SX-24.  Please keep 
it simple.  Keep or sell and a  few reasons why.  I suspect I know what I 
will hear already....like  drifty, not too sensitive or selective and 'use the 
 HRO'.
