[Hallicrafters] SX-15

[WA1KBQ]

Larry,
The SX-15 Sky Challenger is actually somewhat difficult to find. They hardly ever turn up anymore though occasionally you will spot one on eBay, (perhaps once in two or three years) so I'd say they are now rare. The SX-15 was a mid-priced receiver which appeared around 1936 and was soon succeeded by the more common SX-16 Super Skyrider. SX-15 would probably be more sought after by Hallicrafters collectors wanting to fill a vacant spot in their collection than for its performance as the SX-16 is a more capable receiver in about the same price range.
Unless it is complete and original and the physical condition not really that bad, the receiver you are describing seems overpriced but if you have been looking for one it may warrant a further imvestigation.
 Regards, Greg; WA1KBQ

How rare are SX-15 sets and are they worth restoration?

 

There is one in my area for $250, not the best of shape.
