A few years back, a friend gave me something he identified as the 2
meter converter for an SX-101 MK3. At that time I owned an SX-101, but sold
it two years ago, so guess what surfaced recently. I can't find ANY
documentation about this (except that it existed), not even a model number.
Anybody have some info or even a pic? Thanks!

I have only a wild guess. Any 2M converter I ever diddled with, converted to
10M. You might try testing it to 28 - 30 MHz and see what happens. My guess
is that it might tune 145 - 147 MHz.

It was pretty common to convert to 14MHz also, and I might tip things in
favor of 20 meter output being more common, at least for much of the tube
era.
But matching converters were not all that common. Usually, one bought a
converter from a third party, that often specialized in converters. At
least until SSB came along, at which point some manufacturers added
transverters to their lines. Hallicrafters had such a thing, in
the form of the HA-6 (six meter transverter) and the HA-2 (for two
meters). I can't quite place Hallicrafters making receiver converters,
but then at the moment I can't even place the SX-101 (but if a year
was offered up, I'd check some old magazines).
The on receiver from that era that had matching converters was the
National NC300 and/or NC303. It had a an extra dial for converters, and
it actually tuned an extra 4 MHz, 30 to 34 or so if I recall properly.
The oddball IF range almost required that National sell converters to
go with the receiver.
