    Description

    Selling this recently purchased HAMMARLUND HQ-129X This is the early "red letter" variant (late 1940's) The unit is in working condition. I wired a speaker to it and just a couple of short wires to the antenna and I was able to tune in a couple of radio stations. The only thing I have done to this unit is replace the 5U4G tube with an NOS 5U4GB tube. The tube broke during shipping of the unit. I am selling the unit for what I have in it minus the cost of the 5U4GB tube, the taxes and fees, So actually already less than what I have in it. The only reason I am selling it is because I actually like my earlier ham radios more than this one. I know crazy, huh?  I am selling the unit as pick up only due to its size and weight.. If you really want the unit shipped it is going to be quite expensive.
