Yeah, the SX-43 was the "Little Bro" to the '42. It had 11 tubes, was $169.50, & had a not-quite-as-pretty cabinet, a single 6V6 vs. 2 of 'em in the '42. But you would prolly be well-served indeed by EITHER radio. Another thing to ask for is the tilt base B-42, which was another option they had. I have an SX-62, which lacks bandspread tuning, but other than that, is pretty much the same as an SX-42. The 62 has a horizontal dial, which personally I like better than the "half moon" style of the 42 & 43, & the dial glass is glass on mine, vs. plastic on the other sets, which tends to deteriorate after 60-odd years. So there...Yr radio IS Junque, just send 'er to me, I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to dispose of it...Hehehehehehe....
