Yeah... but SX-28s are nice POCs! And...if today's going price is
relevant, I'm sitting on a veritable goldmine. Mine looks better then that one!!! |

The front of my SX-28 looks pretty nice but the inside of mine is not very
shiny! -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html "K3HVG" wrote in message ... Yeah... but SX-28s are nice POCs! And...if today's going price is relevant, I'm sitting on a veritable goldmine. Mine looks better then that one!!! |

Unbelieveable!!!! I don't dare place my new, just out of the box SX-28A up
there!! It's virtually NOS. Yikes!!!! Looks a hell of a lot better than that one on ePay.... Chuck... "L Ron Humorless" wrote in message ... http://cgi.ebay.com/Restored-Hallicr...QQcmdZViewItem |

Make that a $4,550 SX-28.
I gave up long ago trying to psychoanalyze eBay bidders. Sure, it's a loony price. On the other hand, it's a tedious and occasionally fiendish receiver to restore from the bottom up. Don't ask how many hours I spent restoring my first and second SX-28s. (Hint: everything's easier the second time around, and Number Two is definitely the keeper.) I guess there are plenty of collectors out there who don't have the expertise or patience to do that work on their own. I'm not of the school that likes to machine-buff every inch of the chassis. Clean it up, even use Naval Jelly and/or metal polish to make it presentable, but sheesh! And for the record, if you can't find a very nice and easily restorable SX-28 for a few hundred bucks, you're just not trying!

Both you guys are amazing! I have read Phil's resoration pages about a
hundred times (I think I have most of it memorized). I have a very nice SX-28. While I am still trying to fix the AVC, the receiver is sensitive on all bands and sounds wonderful through that PM-23. I keep reading Phil's description on changing the caps in the RF area, trying to get the nerve to go in there. I have checked or replaced everything else. Great photos, Brian. If you ever get bored and miss working on one, let me know! hehe -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html "Brian Hill" wrote in message ... "Phil Nelson" wrote in message ...

BH I can definately agree with BH on the notes........It is a pain in the ass to be taken away from a project and if it is to be a day or so, trying to recall where you left off or maybe any voltages you had, results, parts you swapped out, were hunting for, etc. Maybe it be family issues or other - can "really" make you lose track. Hopefully too - you have a spot where you can leave the radio and no one will disturb it. The electronics part - for me, is fun. The "cabinet" part - BH, Phil, etc........ WOW - they've done such good work! Fortunately any sets I've had to date didn't have to be redone cabinet wise. I would have a time at it, trying to match their neatness - there. But if I had to choose, I'd rather do the metal cabinets - over the wooden ones. Some of these guys - those doing the wooden ones - have done MARVELOUS work....... |

I paid $25 for my SX28A in 1962, later I traded it and $10 boot for a very
cherry S40B. 73 H. NQ5H |

I queried the seller and he said "WELL, I think we disagree on the price. An identical radio sold for $780.00 on 1-26-06 to j1kem...". I dunno, looks AWFULLY like a beat-up S-40B to Me. Uh...what's an UNrestored S-36 worth, by the way...?...G 73, Terry KC9KEL |
