WTB SR-160 Front Panel

First off, I need to apologize to the guys here that responded to my SR-500 Tornado and SR-160 WTB post and didn’t hear back from me. ?I was on the road.

Next, while on the road, I stopped by Walt Cates' QTH in Kansas City where I had the pleasure of meeting him and buying his SR-500 Tornado and PS-500AC. ?It’s in my shack and on the air. ?My first contact was with W1AW believe it or not. ?

For several years Walt has been looking for an SR-160 panel to replace this SR-500 panel. ?The Tornado panel is the same as the 160 with the exception of the metal Tornado label below the escutcheon. ?The metal label is removable. ?Walt wasn’t able to find one in all those years, but I thought I would continue the search, so I know it’s a long shot.

I just can’t leave a radio alone but prefer to spiff up and putter with them. ?I think this would be a fun spiff up project if a panel can be located. ?If not, fine, I am delighted with the radio never-the-less! ?

Greetings,

I am not sure if this thread regarding a front panel applies to Scott or Walt, but I would be willing to swap an SR-160 panel for an SR-500 panel. My SR-160 was not original when I got it as it had a solid state VFO (while a great addition, it was not "stock"). Subsequently, I did the mods that were implemented when the SR-160 was turned into the SR-500 by Hallicrafters so it is neither a stock SR-160 nor SR-500.

If the 'Robert' in your email is meant for me, you can reach me directly at rwkembel at comcast dot net.

Bob,? K7DYB
