It is the SX-42 (not SX-62) that is designed like the Hallicrafters T-54 television.

Raymond Loewy is often credited with this design, but I read somewhere that it was created by his company (i.e., some drone on his staff), not him personally.

A cool radio/TV pair, either way. I own a model 505 TV, which is the same television in a mahogany cabinet:

Hi All,

Thanks for the advice about the Hallicrafters. Unfortunately most of the Hallicrafters are not currently in my budget, other than the S-120 (which I wont buy based on everything I've ever heard about it), and the S-38, which I definitely intend to purchase at some point in the future.

Right now, rather than buying more radios, I want to turn my attention to restoring several of the sets I have now and would really appreciate any general advice, or even specific advice based on the radios I've described above

Thanks, and I'll let you know when I get my first Hallicrafters

Scott

PS - I think the next radio I am planning to buy is actually a Lafayette HA-600. I have been looking and waiting for a nice one of those for a while.
