[Hallicrafters] SX-101A variants

[lardiere at ix.netcom.com]

Howie,

As others have already stated, the very late 101A's had the 115 style knobs.  I sold one of these late 101A's a few months ago with that style of knobs.  I am certain they were original.  They are really quite nice looking receivers and perform well.  Too heavy for my back, however, so off it went to a new home.
