Yo Bubba Dudes!,
I'm selling my Hammarlund 180C as I don't want to take it to South Carolina.
Good cosmetic condition and clock works.
Needs work. When I first tuned it on it would barely receive local LA stations 50 miles away. I did a complete tube swap with OEM tubes but only got a louder static radio. I removed the send relay socket and installed a Corcom 3 wire filter and removed the .01uF caps across the AC line. I started re-wiring the AC input so the hot wire went through the fuse first and then to the on/off switch so it meets current electrical code. The OEM wiring switched the ground wire to turn on the radio.
Included is a reproduction manual, an enlarged schematic from the repro manual 18 x 36 inches, the original owners manual with notes indicating B+ 100 volts high. Also the original tubes that came with the radio plus a few new extra OEM tubes.
Asking $195 plus shipping from 92220-5317.
If interested, please send me an original email off list
Regards,
Perrier
