Hallicrafters SX-28A Rebuild

 

Here's what it looked like when I originally got it. These are the pics right off of ebay and this is what it looked like when I received it. It had no case, I bought that separately in a later auction.


Yes, as is my compulsion I completely took it apart down to a bare chassis. Remaining parts showing, tube sockets, transformer, sides, etc were all removed. Everything was cleaned and shined up and reassembly started.


I started assembly by installing all I could around the RF section before the RF modules were installed. It made from much easier installation of the components without being cramped by the walls of the RF section. You may notice that the Bass transformer is not original. It didn't work to well either. I did end up finding an original replacement and the Bass In/Out does work correctly now.

Osc section rebuilt and going in.


Mixer section, rebuilt and ready to go in.

Couple of shots with the Osc, Mixer, and RF amp sections installed. Ant input section rebuilt and ready for installation show in the foreground of the right picture.
