Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, David Korchin<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

Stumbled on this rig at an estate sale and laid out a cool $5.00 for her. She was mostly in pieces in a big plastic bag covered in a LOT of dust, and the battery compartment had seen better days. But I thought I could get it going.<\/p>\n

Once I got to the chassis I noticed someone with a Golden Screwdriver had been rooting around in there (the PS module was missing screws to the frame and there was some solder bits dancing around inside).<\/p>\n

Threw in 4 C cells: pots were noisy, but there was sound, and after liberal application of De-Oxit and some scrubbing the thing snapped to life! Quite good MW reception: I snagged KMOX 1130 St. Louis at 06:30 GMT this morning, a good hop of 960 miles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hammarlund only made this Weather\/Marine band receiver in 1969-70, so it\u2019s a rare bird, though probably not collectable, per se. Still, it was fun to get the thing operational.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh wow! Thanks so much for sharing your flea market find with us, David! I’m so glad you were able to not only give this HR-10 a proper clean-up, but also bring her back to life–and even snag some DX!<\/p>\n

And your photos, as always<\/a>, are simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n

I’m curious if anyone else in the SWLing Post<\/em> community owns or has owned the Hammarlund HR-10. Please comment!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
