I want one of those too!!! That is the Last Hallicraters SR series I need. But the one at Dayton the seller wanted (OMG!!!) $2500 for. But there has to alot of those out there. U can have one and I can have one!
Yeah, I saw that one at Dayton as well. It was in very good condition, but museum quality? Nah. Worth a kilo, certainly, but not 2.5 K.
I saw one a few years back in much better shape at Breezeshooters, for "only" $1200. Not that I had the shekels at the time.
...I'd still rather have my HT-37 & SX-111 back...

Sweeeet! Needs a filter screen over the intake on the back though. Now I know it's name is Hurricane and I can't get Ruben Carter out of my mind... oh well.

I had a National NC-33 when I was 10. Used it up into my 20s. I think the carcass is out back now.
Yeah, I know. SACRILEGE!
You were young and foolish. But you have repented your sins.
If it makes you feel any better... I know that the Pope will give you penance, but I can do better (no offense towards the Pope, of course). I'll ask Little Miss Field Day to put in a word with Jesus to put your soul to rest.

I'm cleaning up an old HW101 as we speak. I hope to have it on the air sometime this weekend.These old Heathkits sure have me on my toes! Peak the load and adjust the drive, match the load to the tuner, balance the feed to the tuner--tweak the load once again and adjust the drive for the amp. Check the grid and plate. Dip and peak. Adjust the load and output on the amp, and tweak everything yet again. Set the gain, and peak the preselector. Back off the attenuator, and adjust the mic gain. Tweak everything once more. Shebang! You are ready for a QSO!
LOTS AND LOTS OF SHINYKNOBS TO TWIST, GENTLY FONDLE AND CARESS TO SATISFACTION... :cool2:

I love the old fire bottles.
If high power transmitting tubes are fire bottles do the liquid cooled ones use fire water? On the other hand does air really like being forced? Some things make you go hmmm.

A pox upon you! I'm going to be up ALL NIGHT thinking about these deep and troubling questions. Maybe even for the rest of the week. I hold you accountable for this.
Good day Sir, He quickly turns and marches out.........
