If you haven't been here yet, some info on the instrument.

And of course, the BAMA mirror, http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/meissner/analyst

Nice unit ! A recapping and P.S. regulation would probably make it a handy unit.

Love those red knobs!

Was that at Richmond, Derb? If so - nice snag! Their old test gear has a very distinctive Art Deco look to it and fits in nicely with the buzzardly gear. With so much newer gear available so cheap these days, you definitely hafta love the old stuff to bother with it. Aside from some GR gear, I have some old stuff made by Supreme with wooden cabinet that is from the same timeframe. Nowhere near as cool looking!

To me, red knobs against a silver and black background, just looks plain ugly on a piece of equipment. Put some black knobs on it to match the big ones.

I'll probably put some black ones on there Pete.... I'm not too crazy about the red ones myself. My ant blew down in the windstorm we had the other day but I didn't find out until today.  Roll Eyes

it's on the shelf as a future project. I fully plan on using it on the bench after the usual things are done to make it safe.

Reminds me of one of those antique carnival machines at the shore.  Is there a coin slot on the side?

Great idea. Put each knob up on ebay as a separate auction, separated by 2 or 3 seconds, and watch the bidders go crazy.

I once saw a HQ-120 that was tricked out with a few of those red knobs - it actually looked pretty sharp! Made me think about finding a few for mine.

I think at one point in the life of the Hammarlund HQ-150 all the small knobs were a maroon-red color or a brown-red color. I had one many years ago but found a new home for it at Dayton. All the pictures I've seen on the web, shows only the black knob version.

All 4 of the small Q multiplier knobs on my HQ-150 are that dark brownish-red-maroon color. The small selectivity knob on my HQ-160 is the same color.

Hammarlund seemed to like using non-black knobs at times with the HQ-140 having a brownish colored knob set on the earlier models.
