[Hallicrafters] SX-117 engineering changes

[rbethman]

There is another of these that does also does a remarkable job.

Specifically the R-42 Producer.

I've brought the 8 ohm with plain old electrical zip cord.

I can use the 500 or 600 feed, or can indeed go direct with 8 feed.

I have managed to obtain two of these.  I'm more than happy with both.

One is attached to my Northern Radio Variant SP-600.

The den/shack still isn't a completed project.  The XYL has interrupted 
the process for the moment.  She wishes to use TSP to clean the cheap 
paneling, and to then paint over it.  To a degree, my patience is 
wearing a bit thinner than usual.

I truly wish to gain back MY space.

Sincerely, Regards,
Robert "Bob" Bethman
