U17029 Used Hammarlund HQ-170A Amateur Band Receiver
This receiver is in great shape, especially considering the age of this unit. The text on the front panel is clear and intact. The exterior housing contains some minor chips in the paint, but it still looks great and has no major flaws. The connections on the rear panel contain some wear, but are still sturdy and working. The meters are all readable. The interior is in good condition. The attached power cord is intact, though dusty. This radio comes with the manuals. It seems to be working fine although I am sure it could use an alignments.
Info on the item:
The Hammarlund HQ-170 is a 17 tube super heterodyne triple conversion receiver that covers the 160 through the 6m bands in 7 segments. The receiver has an adjustable slot filter that provides up to 40db of attenuation to help eliminate unwanted interference over a 10Kc range. In addition, a slot depth control can provide an additional 20 db of rejection at any one single frequency. A linear product detector, separate from the AM modulation detector, is used for CW telegraphy and SSB detection.
