[Hammarlund] Hammarlund 129X vs 140X?

[Rodney Bunt]

Eugene,

I have both a HQ-129X and a HQ-140XA, I prefer the "feel" of the tuning dials of the HQ-129X and
also the build quality. It is not as "hot" above 20MHz but what SWL is there anyway?

I also have a HQ-120X, RBG-2, HQ-150X, HQ-180, SP-200, SP-400, SP-600. I bought a "new" HQ-120X
front panel on eBay, and resprayed the cabinet, it looks pretty, and I think those small tuning
knobs look cool!, it sounds good too, its the radio I have on when I am working o\in the shack
(strange tube line up though,6SS7 etc)as you can tell I am a bit of a fan, do you know wher I can
get a Comet Pro?
