[HBR] dial, etc.

[David Richards]

The SX-101 is a beautiful & highly effective reciever in it's own right. A work of genuine  artisanship from the golden age of Amateur Radio and indeed from America herself. Should you find one of those in neglected condition, the right thing to do would be to lovingly restore it & to use it for inspiration and educational purposes towards your own HBR project.
One man's [fervently held] opinion.

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.
Thanks, George W5GRg, AFA6GG
