[Hammarlund] Ronald McDonald's SP-600

[dickburk]

Perhaps Northern Electric. The built SP600 fro diversity use. The JX-17 version of the SP-600 was very similar. AFAIK these were painted in standard SP-600 colors.  It's possible fairly large lots of receivers might have been finished in custom colors for some customers.Sent from my GalaxyRichard KnoppowLos angelesWB6KBL

In those I've seen photos of, he never failed to add/delete/modify the function of the front panel controls and often made his own replacement panels.This looks to me like someone went nuts with a can of safety yellow paint.73, Bob W9RAN______________________________________________________________Hammarlund mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/hammarlundHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Hammarlund at mailman.qth.netList Administrator: Gary Harmon, K5JWK** For Assistance: gharmon at idworld.net **This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
