The SX-100 is beautifully built and nice to look at - but it is mechanically

I agree about the stability of the SX-100. I brought a new one home
back in 1956 or 1957. The first thing I noticed was the instability
of the oscillator. The SX-101 is a much better and more stable
receiver (and a lot heavier.)
