Vintage Hallicrafters SX-100 Shortwave Receiver Mark 1B Restore: Part 1 Chassis and Cleaning

The second Hallicrafters SX-100 is disassembled and the components are cleaned along with the top of the chassis. This set, a Mark 1B, I have had and operated for seven years. Over three years ago I recapped it and "cleaned" the chassis with Naval Jelly and made a mess of the chassis surface. All that was stripped off with various grades of sand paper and polishing paper before polishing with chrome pollish.

Your video is extremely blurry for being in 1080P and is just too hard to watch. I have an SX-100 Mark 1A I plan on restoring at some point in the future and it looks like your video may have contained some great content. Appreciate the attempt of your video but please make them viewable. Thanks.

@@i82996 Thank you. I will subscribe and be on the lookout for when you do get it. In addition to the SX-100 I also have a SX-28, S20R, S40, S40A, and a second S40B I want to restore. They are on the to be rebuilt shelf. I don't have any parts units but what I have appear to be in restoreable condition.
