Kewl set ! I hear ya on the "Why is the S-Meter missing ?" I bought a Hallicrafters SX-73 off the E-place several years ago. It is a pretty desirable radio, made in 1951-52, costing $975 at the time, & was intended mainly for the military/commercial market. Not many were sold, period, & fewer were originally sold to individuals. Mine came in, was cosmetically pretty good, didn't work-but a trip to Terry's fixed that, of course-But was missing the handles that were used to take it in/out of the racks that most of them lived in....Why would anybody want to remove those ?!? Fortunately, McMaster-Carr had a reasonable replacement-not exact, but close enuff for gov't work. Just another reason I wish these old rigs could talk-Wonder what tales they could tell...There was some guy a few years back who had an R-390A that had been sprayed w/45 ACP bullets on the front...I'd bet IT had a story to tell...
