Default "New" HQ-145 on the air!

Thanks to all who helped with good information on restoring this
almost pristine condition radio to its former glory. I had it
recapped, fused the chassis, aligned and it needed three new tubes.
Now it is hooked up to a 30 ft. wire and pulling in stations like
crazy! I really enjoy twirling the knobs on this old girl and just
makes me wish that I could have had this radio way back in Jr.
High/Sr. High instead of the lousy S-120! Now I know the quality and
build of the Hammalund line.
