[TenTec] Hallicrafters SX28 - was CorsairII notch potentiometer

[Ralph Smith]

I have a SX28 sitting on the bench that I recieved from another ham when I liquidated his radios.  It needs a lot of tender loving care and is available.  Has not worked in years.

  Good question - but I'm not the owner. I'm simply checking it out for 
  him. He owned an SX28 when he was a teenager in the 1960s - I think this 
  is a "nostalgia trip" for him rather than a restoration project :)
