[InHam] Old receivers

[Dan Evans]

Does anyone on the list enjoy restoring "boat anchors"?

A friend of mine found me a couple of old receivers at a flea market.

The first is a Hallicrafters SX-110.  The appearance is very good for 
it's age.  Some paint scratches, but no major dents or rust.  It seems 
to be in working condition.  I powered it up, and with head phones and a 
few feet of wire across the kitchen I was able to copy several AM BCB 
stations.  No noticeable hum.  Both tuning dials work smooth from end to 
end.  It seems to be working, but I'm sure a rig this age [nearly 50 
years!] likely needs an alignment.


The second rig is a Realistic DX-160.  It seems to work fine, but is a 
bit ugly.  Much of the lettering has worn off the face of the radio, but 
no dents or major scratches.  I may hang on to this one to use in the 
office...

I can send digital pics on request.  I have a broad band connection, so 
can send as many and as big as you like.

I don't really have time to take up another "branch" of the hobby, hi 
hi.  So I would like to find these guys a new home.  I would like to 
find a "local" buyer, as shipping would be pretty high on a 30 lb rig.  
I'm located in Charlestown, here in southern Indiana, but would be 
willing to meet someone at a reasonable distance.  I'm open to offers, 
or even trades.  I am mainly interested in VHF/UHF weak signal 
equipment, but am open to offers.
