When I got my novice ticket in 1975 my wife bought me a HT32A/SX101A. After upgrading to general class like a idiot I sold them. Always regret that. When I moved last year from Phoenix to Ohio I set my sights on finding builders. This wonderful ham in Indiana was selling several HT32's. I picked the best one. He also told me he had a SX101a. Thought I had died and gone to heaven. Lol.
Other than the weight, they are just great.

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.
