Hallicrafters SX-62A...

[Sandy G]

Hey, fellas- Got the SX-62A in today...Goll-Lee, Mr Wizard, it's a BIG-62 lbs-set ! Needs a good cleaning, the top lid is "sprung", looks like a few well-placed raps w/a rubber mallet might get 'er right again. It DOES work, picked up WIMZ on the FM band, but I really think it'll get to go to see Dr. DeWick & get a good going over. Unlike most of the trash I drag into Terry's, this beastie came complete w/an owner's/alignment manual. Pretty set-Methinks maybe Raymond Loewy had a hand in designing the cabinet. Think I done good...BTW, Deadear- Think you oughta go ahead & fix yr SX-42. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Biggest drawback I see is these old byrds don't have an AFC circuit on 'em, & being Tooob stuff anyway, they're drifty as all get-out.
