[HBR] off topic. SP 600

[Ejparagi--- via HBR]

Hello Lorne,
 
There is a web for the Western Historic Radio Museum that has some  
excellent rebuilding articles including one for the Hammarlund SP-600  with lots of 
excellent photos.  I have met Henry Rogers a few times and  have been 
impressed by his work.  He used to operate a radio museum in the  basement of his 
home in Virginia City, Nevada.  I think he has moved and  the museum may no 
longer be in operation but the website is still going.   It's worth a look 
and a read.  Caution: if you like vintage gear you will  spend a lot of time 
at his site!
 
There is also a 4 hour set of videos (DVD format) on rebuilding the  
SP-600JX available from the electric radio magazine book store.  I can  supply the 
address and particulars if you are interested.
 
73 and Good luck with your project,
Ed

PS-  I have an SP-600JX that is on the list of rebuild projects in my  
shack.

I  realize this is not directly HBR related and for this I apologize. 

I  am rebuilding a Hammarlund SP600 receiver.  I am doing modifications  as
described by Doug Blakeslee and documented in the August 1970 issue of  QST.

I am specifically having some issues with the "S" meter and the  AVC
circuitry. I am hoping someone on this list has had some experience  with
this old gem, possibly  having done the mods.

and may be  able to offer some guidance. For this I would be grateful.

There may  somewhere  be a Hammarlund list but so far I have not found  it.
