[Hallicrafters] Speaker for SX-62A

[Richard Knoppow]

    Also about the SX-62. I always wanted one, mostly for the way it 
looks. I've seen two or there SX-62Bs at the TRW swap meet not too long 
ago. This is the one with the round ringed knob for the bandswitch 
rather than the metal lever. Probably has other differences. As pointed 
out by others, its NOT a communications receiver but more a very fancy 
home receiver for broadcast that can also hear CW (with a steady hand). 
Meant to get visitors to say "WOW, look at that, will it get police 
calls?"   Hallicrafters always had a sure touch with styling except for 
some of the very late and very cheap gear.  Can be admired by people who 
know nothing about radio or electronics.
