Hi folks,
    Well, Les is The Historian.  He's put a lot of time into documenting
SP-600's, and much if it may be found on The Hammarlund Historian website:
http://www.hammarlund.info/
    The "SP-600" page adresses a lot of the points that I guess Mark was
wondering about, and Les has covered some of it in his post.
    Les, Barry H, Andy M, & I try to keep things up there, tho' I have
been remiss in putting some of Les's stuff there, like pix of the Leary
units he's owned.  He sent me the pix months (yrs now?)ago, I recently got
a better scanner & will try to get a round tuit soon.  I'd much rather
work on old radios than on website stuff.  I got some ads, pix, etc. on
Hammarlund from the archives of the IEEE a few months ago, and will get
back to work on it also.
    One concern I have with the present website is that it is often very
slow to load pages, particularly the info we have in the "H-Files" which
consists of a lot of large files of scanned ads and product info.  The web
hosting is provided by Al Waller and his great qth.net, etc., and is free
to users, tho' at least partly supported by users' contributions.  It's
hard to complain about something that's taken as free by most, supported
largely by Al Waller & a small percentage of users.  Al W. is the owner of
"hammarlund.info" and the servers that it is displayed upon.  He's
recently posted 1 of his not very often requests for supporting
contributions, I guess this is my pitch to help bring some in.
