Re: [TenTec] Hallicrafters SX28 - was CorsairII notch potentiometer

Hello Ralph

In ref: to your msg about the SX-28. I have  friend that might have interest 
in the radio. First is it still available ? Second can you supply jpgs of 
the radio? Third how bad off is it? Sense he is vision impaired I would have 
to be the one to work on it for him to get it back up to specs. Advise.
Regards, Rock
