HQ180A Record Price?
 

Following up the R7A on Ebay just now is a HQ180A
approaching the $1,000 mark...from an estate, it appears
from the pix to be in virtually new condition, although lacking
the noise limiter addition. Another Ebay record I should think
unless someone recalls one that went for higher.

I have to wonder how many of these deals are really consummated. Ever see
feedback posted?

It truly is the 'bandcruiser' IMO of the HQ models. I had the chance to be in
the cockpit of one of these before and it was an 'experience' I won't forget.

It's on my short list of receivers to acquire, along with the SP series. I'd
never spend a gerrr on it, but if you have it and you want it, why not?
Hopefully the person will actually *push the gamut* and work the dials the way
thet're intended to. :-)

Super piece, he'll/she'll be pleased.

It is indeed a wonderful radio. I have the even more elusive HQ-180AX, which
has switch-selected settings for individual crystal-controlled frequencies. (I
also have an HQ-129X, -145A, -150, and -170A. Do I have a thing for
Hammarlund?)

You have good taste! I think I'd rather use my 180C on a daily basis than my
SP-600.

Or my SP-210 or HQ-160, which I probably won't be keeping forever like the
180C.

You know, implying you'll get rid of the 210 and 160 is really cruel. I'm
tempted to ask how much you'd want so I can plug the obvious holes in my
lineup...and I can't afford it.

But thanks for acknowledging my good taste.

(Hope that also applies to my Drake 1-A and 2-B, National NC-2-40D, and Collins
75A-4 and 75S3B.)
