"Michael Lawson" ) writes: Ideally, I'd like a Hammarlund HQ-180AC, which I've used before for about 3-4 months, but I'm realistic enough to know that with the demand for one that I'm not probably going to land one. My big question, then, is what would be a good alternative?? I'm not interested in the R390/A (the demand thing again), or the SP-600 or SX-88 either. I don't really know too much about the 50's-60's Hallicrafters models, and the only other model I'm familiar with other than the HQ-160 is the Hallicrafters S-20R Sky Champion. Wouldn't it make more sense to study up on old receivers, sio you'd be able to choose among what you can find, rather than trying to find a specific model? Once you figure out the sort of receiver you want, then there are bound to be many that fit that. Obviously some would be better than others in a given range, but with a good knowledge base you can better decide whether receiver A at XX dollars is a good tradeoff with receiver B with YY dollars. There is a book or two that documents old receivers. It might be worth getting one of them (if they are still in print), giving you not only a chance to look at all that was available at one time, but you can take it with you in case something exotic comes along and then comes into consideration. Michael I've thought about hunting for a Hallicrafters SX-100, but that's about it. Anyone have some models that would be worth it to hunt for?? Once I get a list, I'll go doing some online research and narrow my choices down (starting with dxing.com, naturally). --Mike L. |
