[Hammarlund] HQ-129S spotted at used furniture store

[David Thompson]

The wife told me she and our daughter saw a Hammarlund receiver at a used 
furniture store on Buford Highway just inside I-285 in Chamblee, GA (Atlanta 
area).

I went by there today and it was a HQ-129X that was in sad condition.  A 
knob was missing and the main and bandspread knobs were incorrect.  There 
was paint
speckled on the lid and several items on the lid itself.  I took them off 
and looked inside and it was dirty and would require a complete cleaning. 
The AC plug seemed original but the end was black.
The store wanted $100 and I told them that was too high for the condition.

Around the corner from the HQ-129X was an RCA Floor console.  The outside 
could be cleaned up and the dials seemed to work.  Could not look inside. 
They wanted $80 so again I passed.
