JT, I really can't speak to the late 1930's from my own experience, but my Hammarlund HQ-120-X was built in 1939 (or thereabouts, but definitely pre-WWII.) I still use one today. It was my first receiver in 1963! Ed, W9EJB - Original Message - From: "JT Croteau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

JT, When I just want to listen to good quality AM I use my Hammarlund HQ-140. I pretty much have a complete line of the HQ series and to my rather poor ear, the 140 sounds the best. Its probably because it is in the best shape of them all. Just my 2 cents. Ed, W9EJB - Original Messa
