[Hallicrafters] back lighted vs front lighted dials

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Depends on the production run.  I have several SX-99's that have solid 
aluminum dials with the light at the top and others with white plastic dials 
that are back lighted.  All are screened in black, so unless you look 
inside, or see them powered up, it's hard to tell from outside.

I don't think there were any S-85's made with both, but I've only seen a few 
of those.

None of the SX-100's that I've had  have plastic dials because of the 
different dial drive mechanism.  Same with the SX-96's, the dials were gear 
driven from their outer edge.

73, Charlie k3ICH
