[Hallicrafters] back lighted vs front lighted dials

[Gerry Steffens]

That fits with the old info I found a few minutes ago.  I had a 99 and sold
it to my friend.  It indeed was one with a plastic translucent dial.

Any thoughts as to how rare the plastic dial units are or are they all a
specific run?  I have only seen a two or three of them in about 52 years.

I was sitting here making an inventory of my many radios when this came to
me.  While I have many Hallicrafters units, I don't have a plastic dial one
at this time.  Maybe I will look for one.

Thanks,

Gerry

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.
