OT: Hallicrafters SX-62 and external speaker available

Administrator

Someone gave me a vintage Hallicrafters SX-62 receiver with external speaker. Both are in fair shape, and could probably be of some value with a good cleaning. Based on advice from a radio refurbisher, I have not plugged in the receiver, and I'm pretty sure this unit hasn't been plugged in for at least 30 years. Apparently some collectors like to replace some of the capacitors first.

I'd like to give these away for nothing but my cost of shipping. Otherwise they may end up getting recycled in some environmentally correct fashion.

Please email me directly if interested.

73,

Thanks for all of the inquiries. The SX-62 has found a new home.

I thought I would offer to trade you an HRO-5 and NC-101X for it, but I realized that that
wouldn't solve either of our problems!

NC101X, love that receiver. I still have one. It was my first receiver
back in 1954. My dad bought it for me at Henry Radio in LA.

It was $60. Quite a lot back in the day.

That would be a nice little domestic friendly RX when restored.

If I thought it'd survive the trip, I'd ask what the shipping cost to the UK would
be, but as above, it would arrive mashed to pieces I suspect, that and I doubt I'd
ever find the time to restore it myself.
