It's always great when another old rig gets back on the air. Hopefully the younger generations will keep it going. Nothing better than the look of tubes glowing and the smell of old electronics. Lol
These are the ones I acquired. Fortunately they were in fairly good condition when I got them.

Charles,

I will certainly be following your progress on the SX-101.? I just recently purchased an SX-100 MK 1A that was advertised as not being turned up for 18 years. The pictures of the unit look nice, faceplate looks very good, and so does the chassis with minimal surface rust in some spots.? However, the real proof is when I physically see it; due to arrive this Thursday.? I figure you have to start somewhere as none of these older rigs will come in pristine condition, unless it has already been restored. I have another rig on the bench right now, so the SX-100 will have to wait till I finish that one up.? But at least I can pull it out of the box and give it a good once over, as well as order a recap kit for it.

Thank you,

Thank you, Bill and Chuck.
Have purchased the re-cap from Hayseed as well.
No doubt the SX is the heaviest radio I have tackled yet.
Rebuilding my work bench currently for a bit more room.
Very excited about getting the better of the two SX back to operation.
Both are fairly clean, one has a bit cleaner looking chassis.
Previous owner said they were working fine ten year ago.
