[Hammarlund] Any "gotchas" with HQ 145?

[Brian Burns]

Hello All,

An HQ145C has recently become available locally for $50. It was working Ok when it got ignored for a bunch of years. Since this is a coastal town the front panel is corroded, and it clearly needs new filter caps in the power supply.

Since this was Hammerlund's first model with double conversion, and the new front panel and case (and who knows what else was new), I'm wondering whether to take it on as a restoration project.

Anybody had experience with the HQ145? 

Cheers,

Brian Burns
