It actually looks in very good shape for getting it at an estate
sale. Might not have to do much of anything at all to it.

Man, if only I had the money...

Ebay is how I got my HQ-180, two years ago. I got lucky, because it
was
actually as listed; mint condition. Everything, including the clock,
was in
perfect working order. There were several listed at the same time,
but this one
was the cream of the crop, and the seller had an excellent rating.
It didn't
come cheap though. A bidding war got it into my shack for $500.00,
but it was
worth every penny. I hope you find one in similar condition to mine,
because it
really is a great classic radio. Good DXing to you, Gary
