[Hammarlund] HQ-129 Mods

[jeremy-ca]

 The 129X I had in the late 50's had a factory installed calibrator. There
 was a toggle switch in the lower left corner. I suppose it was a very late
production just prior to the 140X which had an advertised calibrator option.

 What is your switching method? I presently have a Johnson velcroed to the
 side but have been looking for a Hammarlund.
