    Description

    Hallicrafters SX-28A (Build #2)
    communications receiver
    (serial # HA3609)
    You are bidding on a vintage Hallicrafters general coverage
    communication receiver
    that was manufactured around 1945 or so. This model is a 'transitionary' model of the SX-28 - it is a SX-28A with a SX-28 faceplate and was built after WWII (when the SX-28 was made available to the public).
    The set does
    not come with a speaker
    but we do have a number of Hallicrafters speakers (Pre- and Post-WWII PM-23s) available for an additional charge (and separate shipping).

    !
    This set has been through our
    6-point Quality Check
    process:
    Sound/Noise/hum check
    (filter issues, grounding issues, tube issues, ...)
    All bands function check
    (tune into known stations, receiving signals, ...)
    Set features check
    (crystal, tone controls, ANL, antenna tuner, ANT gain, ...)
    Physical/Mechanical check
    (knobs work, flywheel testing, missing or damaged parts)
    Tube check
    (all tubes meet at least 65% or better on a Calibrated Hickok TV-7)
    Safety check
    (sufficient check of the set for things such as for frayed cords, sharp edges, ...)
    The SX-28 is a very popular Hallicrafters set and during WWII were only available to government agencies to support the war effort. After WWII Hallicrafters produced these for the booming civilian market and represented the best you could get for a heavy duty-rated communications radio set. A highly tuned and aligned SX-28 rivals modern shortwave systems in sensitivity and selectivity - and was state-of-the-art when they were produced!
    This particular radio is mostly in original but in very cleaned up condition. The set tunes well, has good reception on all bands, and BFO - crystal - S Meter - and A.N.L. all function. Notice from the pictures it does have the proper bottom plate and is very clean. The set performs very well and has great 'curb appeal'. The case is in great condition and sharply painted. This set is also 3-prong A/C plug
    converted.
    If you buy this set, please let me know if you are interested in also obtaining a pre-WWII PM-23 or the WWII and later PM-23 to go with the set (we have both in immaculate condition and are for sale only with the SX-28's we have).
    Note: this set weighs 75 pounds and will require special shipping and handling to get it to you safely. There might be a couple day processing timeframe on this set.
