[Hammarlund] HQ-129-X

[Carl]

The 129 was my first real radio back in 56.

I have one now and use it regularly along with another Viking I and 250TH 
amp that recreates that old station.

Besides the caps Ive also found many out of tolerance resistors in mine and 
others that come thru for restoration.Especially the ones used as screen 
droppers and AVC.

Dont forget the parts hidden under the BFO shield.

I also have a 120X, 140X, 145, 150, 160, 180, 200, SP-400, and a couple of 
HC-10's.

One I havent found yet within driving distance is a console SP-100.
