Hammarlunds have been my favorite receivers for many years.

Oscar's legacy speaks to me.  Literally.

Great picture Pete! 

Thanks for posting it.  Way back in the 80's up at the AWA conference, Steward Meyer - W2GHK (SK) who was rose to the rank of President of Hammarlund gave a great talk on the company and its history.   My favorite Hammurlund receivers were the HQ-120, HQ-129X and lastly the SP-600 JX-17.
