The big box under the tree turned out to be a nicely packed Hammarlund HQ100c
from Ebayland. All functions check out, calibration at 15 mhz was right on.

The cabinet about an 8 on a 10 scale, the front panel lettering crisp, the dial
markings pristine. The clock works. It has the Xtal calibrator upgrade.

The knobs are not all original, but seem to be reasonable repros.

I drove into the office and downloaded the manual pdf and printed it out on the
laser printer. All functions including SSB work as described.

Santa is evidently upgrading me from the S-38 he brought last year.

That's a great Santa you have there. If you're real good, who knows what
he might bring next year. Maybe an HQ-180AC!
