I was just surfing the HCI (I think) site...the big Hallicrafters site with lots of good stuff. I looked at the images of the HT-30, and all of them had a paint scheme (as far as I could tell from the scans) like the SX-99, the silver on the bottom and dark gray or something on top. But all other pix I've see of that radio were like the SX-100 with the gold crosshatch on the bottom and silver on top. Wonder when the switch was made. One of the ads tickled me a bit...showed the HT-30 paired with the SX-99. Hmmmm...IMHO...slightly imbalanced performance there.
Oh, well....on to the memory...
When I was looking for my next receiver as a novice, while I was using an AR-3, I briefly considered an SX-110. But there were two different pix of it. One had flanges, or skirts on the knobs, like the SX-100, 101, etc., and one didn't, like the 99. That cofused me, so I wrote to Hallicrafters to ask them if the '110 had flanges or not. The reply was something like,
"The SX-110 doesn't have flanges, or skirts, on the knobs. We did do a few shots of one with flanges for publicity purposes."
Hmmmmm...a little deceptive?
BTW...I find epay to be a
wonderful source of high-res images of radios.
