[Hammarlund] shiny Hammarlund SP 600 JX-26/R-483/FRR

[bavarianradio at comcast.net]

Hi Ed and the group, I also have a shiny SP-600, mine is a JX-14 and has the nickel plated bezels. I have also seen 1 or 2 others with the silver fron panel on the E place. So I don't think  a previous owner did this. I have been unable to get a difinitive answer as to what these were, however I think they look great. Don't go painting your just yet, you may have a rarity (as do I) Maybe we can start a club for silver SP's!!!  I'll try to send some pictures to you (and anyone else who cares)  Ross W1EKG
