Hallicrafters never went for loctals in a big way; they were used only
where there was no other choice at the time. Your variations-on-a-
theme idea is correct; notice how similar the SX-42 and SX-62 are on
the inside.

I had a Hallicrafters SX-101 for many years - the one with the big
slide rule dial and the capability of adding a 2-meter converter (we
all ran AM in those days on 2m). It weighed quite a bit and kept the
room warm in the winter, especially when paired it up with the HT-44B,
but worked very well.
