Parting out an SX-100


 

Let me know what you want and a small amount for it/them along with a reasonable shipping cost ...
If you have a picture of the specific item(s) - that helps nail it for me.

Hi Donald,
Looking for original Antenna Trimmer/ Calib. On/Off knob. All other knobs but these are originals on my SX-100.
Let me know if any of these little guys are original/available.
Thanks,
Steve, K1XG


 
Edited

I think you¡¯re looking for these Steve?

Note to Rudy, kc5yl --

Hello Rudy!

I failed to keep your email address, so my apologies for sending this to the group.

If your SX-100 meter lens is yellowed but otherwise in good shape, please take a look at ¡°Retro-Brite,¡± a spray that restores yellowed plastic.? It¡¯s available from many sources, including Amazon.?

Recently there was a flurry of exchanges about ways to de-yellow plastic, most of which revolved around hydrogen peroxide and sunlight, with some augmentation chemicals added in for good measure.

You should be able to restore the ¡°yellow-free¡± nature of the plastic with little effort!

Good luck a& 73!

Gosh, Thank you for that Mike as I had not the heart to tell Rudy that I've never had or seen an SX-100 S meter cover that wasn't yellowed!

And now I will be able to clear the covers on the two that I have that are quite yellowed.

I'm recent to this group so missed and didn't know to look for something about meter covers.

Mine must have seen a lot of sun exposure. It's as yellow as a turn signal lense.?

The ¡°un-yellowing¡± procedure is for the clear plastic meter cover, not the meter face itself.? I have no idea how the ¡°un-yellowing¡± procedure would work on the meter face card.

Still looking for the clear bands/freqs dial covers on my SX-99.?
Are they the same as the SX-100?


 

Hi Bruce
The only way to tell if they are different in size is to remove and measure.? To my eye though, they look different in size.?

Hello guys, why not measure the width/height of the visible part first and compare ?

As Don recommended, just measure it.?
Looking at the parts list for the SX96, SX99 and SX100, it does appear the part numbers are different.
But Hallicrafters was very cost effective in building these radios and used the same cabinet many times.
I doubt they used different versions of S meters.?
May be wrong....but definitely going to put the shop rule on mine this evening
