Part of the demand for the SX-100 is that every young ham in the late 50's
saw the gorgeous SX-100 on the back of every ham magazine and in the back of
the ARRL Handbook. Other kids had pictures of Marilyn Monroe tacked on
their wall, but it was the SX-100 that drew the attention of the young ham.

Decades later, when these same hams now have enough money for the
essentials, they at last can purchase their SX-100 and let it sit on the
shelf of their shop. In terms of performance, the Drake 2B will beat it
hands down - but the 2B does not have the aesthetic appeal and was not the
object of affection for young male hams.

With all of it's chrome, the SX-100 is the 1958 Buick of ham radio.
Chrome gone berserk. You antique car guys know what I am talking about.
The SX-100 is a neat looking radio and a classic boatanchor!
