Hi.
Due to the absolute necessity of purchasing a couple air conditioning =
units=20
for the home (central air went belly up) I am putting a couple of my=20
boatanchor accessories for sale so I can pay off the "plastic".  NO, NO=20
RECEIVERS ARE FOR SALE!  I'd rather take a beating than part with them,=20
particularly the Hammarlund HC-10, but that's how it goes <grin>. =20

1.  Hammarlund HC-10 Sideband adapter.  This unit is basically the IF =
strip,

Notch filter, AVC, BFO/product detector and audio section of a =
Hammarlund=20
HQ-180 and will provide superb SSB AND AM performance of SP-600, R-390A =
and=20
other boatanchor receivers with a 450-500 KHz IF frequency.  Some =
specifics.
    A.  IF filters: .5, 1, 2 & 3 KHz in SSB, twice that in AM modes.
    B.  Modes:  LSB, USB, CW and AM.
    C:  AGC. OFF, Slow, Medium, Fast.
    D:  Slot (notch) filter +/- 5KHz.
    E.  Passband Tuning +/- 3KHz.
    F:  Noise limiter/Squelch.
    G:  Audio Output, 1 Watt into 3.2 Ohm Speaker or headphones.
    H:  Internal 120VAC Power supply and 10 tubes.

COSMETICS:  I would rate it an honest "8".  Case looks quite nice, trim =
ring

has some light rust in the bottom area that I'm sure is fixable, but I'm =
not

set up to do it correctly.  Face looks very good EXCEPT some lettering =
on
the white Hammarlund name has peeled leaving bare metal.  It's not a =
glaring
defect.

ELECTRICAL:  Everything works as it should though the can electrolytic
capacitor hasn't been replaced.  So far as I can tell it's all original =
with
no mods.  COPY of the manual printed from the BAMA file and a 2nd manual
that I am sure isn't original.

PRICE:  I'm not sure what these are going for now days though I =
understand=20
they're relatively hard to find and I saw one listed at $340.00  =
Considering

the cosmetic defects mentioned I'll take 250.00 plus shipping.  It will =
be
well boxed and go UPS.     =20
