[NJARC] Hallicrafters SX-111 Mk. 1

[Scott Roberts]

Joe-
Thanks very much for the kind offer! I went through
last night and figured out who's who using a VERY
LARGE copy of the schematic (4' x 2') which I had made
at Kinko's yesterday... I located and confirmed the
values on all the bumble bees, so I think I should be
alright now. I even labeled them & took pictures for
reference. Then I went through, and did the same for
the HT-37. I also found the HA-2 & HA-6 don't appear
to have any! I'm going to pull their covers today &
check...

Thanks Again- More later!
Scott
