Thanks for the info. I'm shooting for mid 50's-mid 60's,
mainly, so those two are definitely worth a look. --Mike L. wrote in message ups.com... Not sure what all you are looking for or the age. Here's a couple of National Radio possibilities though: Look for an HRO 60 (love that dial) or a 100ASD.

Hell, part of the reason why I've been adding some lifting to my workouts has been to haul one of those babies back to my car over at the Salem Mall (or whatever the hell they call that empty shell now). 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. 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. |

One last thought. If you don't mind going solid state boat anchor, the
Kenwood R-300 is a blast to tune around using it's bandspread, xtal marker. It looks like it ought to have tubes, but the only comforting warm glow will be from the dial lights. |
