Shortwave is FUN!

Stylish design, nice find! I'm working on a Hallicrafters WR-600 right now,
well, it's sitting on the shelf waiting for a tube. Couple of months ago I got a S/S Realistic DX-160 Communications Receiver that's turning out to be a great little radio. Had a bent antenna trim shaft which whacked the blades in the variable condenser. Trying to straighten out those fins is really difficult Only rubs a tiny bit in this one little place Having a BFO Pitch control makes for some fine tuning! Also found a Hammarlund One Eighty about 6 months ago, it's sitting up in my barn, I don't even dare to get into that one!
