Hallicrafters Boat Anchors
After a few years of collecting various and sundry Hallicrafter rigs, there is enough equipment to make a list of the Hallicrafter boat anchors in my collection. This page is dedicated to documenting efforts to restore these rigs.
So, this first post will be to list an inventory of the Hallicrafter rigs.

Hallicrafters Model SX-71

Purchased in 2017 from a local seller
Hallicrafters Model SX-100
Found on KSL (04/24/2017) and bought from Henry Meyer of Stansbury Park for $xxx - a good price, I think. The unit is in excellent condition but can use some additional TLC to bring it up to specs.
