Rich -

Phil Nelson may have a parts chassis

You can also request this in the: rec.antiques.radio+phono Usenet group.
Some Hallicrafters restorers there as well.

I do not have a good photo of the rear SX-42 panel for the antenna
terminals.

Of that era:

Hey, small world. Rich already contacted me, and I did have one other bit
that he's looking for. But my junker is missing the things he mentions in
this thread, so I suggested he post here. Surely I can't be the only one on
Planet Earth with a junker SX-42 :-)

At a glance, the type A knurled binding post from Abbatron looks closest to
the SX-42 part. The others would work if that one's too fat. It would have
to be insulated from the chassis, of course, but if I'm not mistaken, the
original antenna connectors are mounted on a little phenolic board. I should
order a couple myself. Two of the connectors on my set are half-stripped and
wobbly.

You have the patience of "Job" for that SX-42 restoration (nice photos).

Yes, H.H. Smith had many owners over past 15 years - but I think it has
settled down and the move to Meadville (western PA) was likely a good move).
At one time, their web site had the entire original binding posts (past 75
years) .. they removed some of the models from the web site lisitng --
which I guess was due to lack of interest of sales.
Restorers should be jumping on some of these items -- since H.H. Swmtich was
likely the origonal suppleir when they were in New Jersey.

They also have the old style "pin plug" that were used extensively in the
1940s for headphone jacks, etc.

Do you still have washers under all the connector screws? On my SX-62, the
connector screws threads were undercut at the base. I was missing a couple
of washers, and the phrase "half-stripped and wobbly" would have described
the connections perfectly, until I replaced the washers.
