In case you don't know what "Fair to good condition" means..
 

Here's an example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Hammarlund-hq-11...QQcmdZViewItem

I would say it looks pretty nasty but likely is in fair to good condition physically once you look past the dirt/corrosion. Looks like it may have been left in an unheated barn/patio in a damp climate due to rust on the screws and would probably clean up to look pretty decent.

I think i will bid $3.00 on this item.

i'll see your $3 and raise you $5:D

I wouldn't waste my time...these are reasonably common, they come up on You-Know-Where frequently, there's liable to be one next week that doesn't have quite so many "issues"..Besides, this is an alright set,but... The Hammarlunds to get are the HQ-129, 145, 180, & the SP series, especially the SP-600. It was considered as "Annapurna" to the R-390As being "Everest".

Holy cow! You're a lot more generous then I'd be! I'd rate it "dumpster-ready"!

The best things are:

1. $.01 starting bid.
2. $8 shipping.

At least the knobs and the s-meter (if it works) are worth that.

$8 shipping ? i wonder where he came up with that.youd be lucky to ship just the knobs and meters for that price.

We have worked with units that looked MUCH worse, much rustier, but still electrically were still in good shape after replacing old caps.

The opening bid is very fair. It will get bid up to whatever the market will bear for this set in this condition. Might make a good parts set for someone who already has one of these units, or else it will be an interesting challenge for a restorer.

I don't know where he got that shipping number, either. You couldn't send a tube receiver across the street for that.

hq-110
 

Hello for me i like SP-600 for its sound but like Collins R-391 for its selectivity. That HQ-110 looks rough bet it plays. I would bid 4 dollars for it!They are comon tho have seen a few here in nashvile area. Afvel:D

I am still the high bidder @ .71 cents.
