[HBR] dial, etc.

[grg]

I have always thought that should I get time to build a HBR receiver, I 
would start with a hallicrafters SX-101-a or some variant, and go from 
there. You can find those in all conditions at hamfests, some I have 
purchased for as little as $50.! Some really nice ones for $100 and up, 
I have 6-7 and cannot get enough.
That being said, I have a transistorized HBR with an eddystone dial. The 
radio has some nice filters and is one of the fist pll radios out, there 
is a button to lock the loop. I has a 2m-440 converter with it and the 
builder used it for satellite work. I would sell all of it for $300. and 
I think it would make a nice set up even in todays world. It was built 
in the early 1970's, I have no documentation on it though.
