[Hallicrafters] Speaker for SX-62A

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Yeah, but the SX-42 is really hard to beat for an elegant mechanical design.
They're almost as much of a bear to restore as an SX-28, but they DO work
well,
And those tuning dials, how kool izzat?

    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.
