Oh excellent Jim.? There the freewheel 'be' on the
Radiomuseum underchassis view.? Great going!? The new winner at
1936 the SX-10.?
Now we have the first, the 1936 SX-10 and the last, the 1969
SX-146.? Any dissenters out there?

The SX-10 is most likely
the first hallicrafters with flywheel drive.? Radiomuseum
has several photos of the insides showing the mechanism.?
The SX-10 dial is the first to have an engraved dial of some
300+ degrees.? Looking at the SX-9 photos at the RM, it
appears to have a direct drive so the 180 degree dial makes
perfect sense.? I assume that the sets made before
hallicrafters began production with the S-9 are also 180
degree dials?
The SX-10 set the standard
for later production models.? The rumor is that only 200
were made but I think that there must have been more made
then that.? Is this early trendsetter in anyone else's
collection?
