[Hammarlund] 4-20 transmitter and 4-11 modulator

[Roger Shultz]

Lots of people changed the original knobs however I went the opposite
direction and searched for a near perfect pair of the originals. I like the
smooth feel of them and the appearance. I also searched until I had a
perfect set of the unique chicken head knobs.

After a full recap, new electrolytic, alignment all done after the
cosmetics, the HQ-129-X sound really good especially listening to AM. SSB is
not bad either nor difficult to tune compared to other contemporary
receivers of that era.

The HQ-129X was possibly the very best post-war receiver for the money that
was 
available....except for those cheesy original knobs.

I have an HQ-129X here in the queue to be restored. It was given to me and
is in all original 
condition.

I can hardly wait! :-)
