[Hammarlund] time capsule SP-400X (Bob Young)

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

The tuning, band spread, and band change knobs are original. The rest are
generic chickenheads, a typical mod done in the day along with changing the
tuning knobs as they were a bit small and hard to grip in comparison to
what was readily available. Though the more Deco 'streamlined' knobs are
much cooler looking.

The good news is, they're bolt-on parts, not irreversible mods involving
holes or such. But for a $500 opening bid, one would expect the correct
knobs to at least be included. It's not a rare radio and though the overall
condition is clean, I have a buddy in VA with an equally-clean example and
have seen a few others over the years.

It should certainly bring more than they typical piss-beat SP-200 or -400,
at least. The knobs off a HQ-129X would get most of the job done.
