[Hammarlund] HQ-110 or HQ-110A

[W8ZV]

Hi Mitch!

    One of the quick ways to positively ID an A version of the later HQ 
series radios was the solid state power supplies.  Diodes replaced the 
rectifier tube.  If it's got the 5U4, it's a 110.  No rectifier=A version.

It appears to be a HQ-110, but the metalic sticker on the rear says its a 110A. The front panel only has the Hammarlund above the band switch. The dials go from 1.8 to 147, but the band switch only goes to 54. The serial number stamped into the rear is 102XX, which I think means it is a later model. I've looked at a number of pictures of both the 110 and 110A, and the 110A's have it embossed on the front panel next to the name Hammarlund. From what I have been able to research, the 110A's had the dial that go to 147, and 110's dials only went ot 54. The 110A's also had the 4 pin accessory plug on the back, but the 110's did not.
