From an outfit with 101 negative feedbacks? No way!

I'd love to know how many times "gottahaveit" bid on this, unfortunately,
with the Private Sales, we'll never know about how much Martyn has been
shill bidding on his own sales.

Is the SX-100 a particularly valuable piece of equipment? For instance is it more valuable than an SX101?
Thanks

Not really. The sx100 was a general coverage receiver, sold for $295.
The sx101 was ham bands only and sold for $395 in the late 1950s.

By comparison, the hallowed sx88, in production in the mid-1950s, sold
for $595.

The SX-100 is a classic radio. Same basic design as the SX-88 - and much
slimmer. It actually fits nicely on a shelf that is not too deep. It uses
the 50 kHz if strip and has great selectivity. If there were only a few
receivers around, it might be a very valuable receiver. But, it is fairly
common. The demand is higher than on the SX-101, so the price will normally
be a slight bit higher that for the SX-101. In terms of performance, the
SX-101 is a ham band only SX-100, with more mechanical stability.
Mechanical stability on the SX-100 is terrible, thanks to the otherwise
wonderful gear drive system. On 15 meter cw, with full selectivity, you can
drop a pencil on the desk and lose the station. Nevertheless, it is a
classic radio.

I bought one in excellent condition, with a nice Hallicrafters speaker for
$100. Also bought a basket case SX-100 for $35.

Back in the mid Fifties or so I visited a fellow ham across town. He
was a Novice at the time and had a Heath AR-3 receiver and WRL Globe
Chief transmitter. And I thought he was a rich kid then, as he had all
new commercial equipment. Most everything I had was homebrew.

The next time I visited, he had his General ticket and had an SX-100
receiver and B&W 5100 transmitter. Do you know how much that stuff cost
in the mid-late Fifties? He WAS a rich kid.

Yes it is their business, but we are entitled to comment if we wish. I was
dumb enough to buy an SX-100 new, and it was so mechanically unstable I
couldn't use a key or bug on the same table as the receiver. I sold it as
soon as I could afford a different receiver; an RME if I recall correctly.

The SX-100 was junk in the 60s and it's junk now.
