[Hammarlund] time capsule SP-400X sold.

[Bob Young]

 It sold already, a BIN at 695.00, that was quick. I thought the starting price, 495.00 was a fair price seeing as how nice it was, you don't see many that nice.

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.

If you guys are talking about the two small round knobs for the bandspread and main tuning those are original but usally missing with those radios,

It certainly shows little age on the meter and dials. I got one about that nice, but it was missing the original tuning knobs. Took me a year to track down two knobs. But mine was a LOT less than what he is asking.
