[Hammarlund] HQ-129-X Question

[Carl]

" I have a number of questions about the receiver, for instance, if the 
panel paint was changed during production, mine looks darker than it does in 
the advertising photos and some contemporary photos on the Internet. I think 
mine is a late receiver, it has all white lettering. It would be interesting 
if anyone had a serial number list, but I suspect that has been lost."

There are 3 different original panels that Im aware of. The earliest has a 
red/orange (take your choice) logo, and then there are 2 all white with 
slightly different lettering. And there is the currently available 
reproduction panel.

Cabinets come in several shades of gray and there was also a short lived 
brown one including the bezel. I call it Machinist Brown as it matches the 
Kennedy machinist tool chests. One of mine is brown.

The 129 I had in HS in LI, NY was a late 1953 model and had a factory 
installed calibrator. I bought it in 56 and it included the bill of sale 
from Harrison Radio in NYC, it was listed on their Sale and Swap bulletin 
board.
