[Hammarlund] HQ-120X Finished

[Joe Connor]

I just finished the HQ-120X that I asked the group about several weeks ago. Thank you for your responses and your advice.

The set came out very well. Sensitivity is good, and it's an all-around good bandcruiser. I'm very happy with it. Most of the work was replacing the old paper caps and out-of-spec resistors. An RF and IF alignment helped, too. 

One point to note: the schematic of the crystal filter (Part 76) does not show any values for components inside the can. There is a .02/500V paper cap and a couple of resistors in there that are easy to miss unless you open up the can (i.e., remove the top and the side). 

Again, thanks for your help.
