Hammarlund HQ100A Overview and Demo of a Ham Radio Classic Boat Anchor

Let's take a look at my old Hammarlund HQ110A Ham Radio / Shortwave Receiver

Lord I've always loved the look of those, simple and beautiful. Hope you can get to the restore, inside and out. Simply splendid!

Someday I will!

I LOVE the old Hammarlund gear! I have a few of them myself. Looks like the caps are still functional, but probably should get done to optimize playability. I have a HQ-129, and a HQ-140. I prefer the earlier stuff since the use a 6V6 output tube. The later ones like yours use a single 6AQ5. That's the ham only receiver version of the general coverage HQ-100. Thanks for showing! 73's

8 months ago I donated my minty HQ 160. It still ran.

Nice

[@1crazynordlander]

That is amazing. Have you looked to see if the caps have been replaced with more modern ones? I love watching Mr. Carlson's Lab. I wonder if he has done a resto one of these? I did check. Looks like he did a HQ-120. He also said on that one the meter shuts off in VFO mode. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSUn4l5ZdKmZtk at 2:33:03
