Hallicrafters SX-101A Restoration Question
I am in the processing of restoring a Hallicrafters SX-101A model MKIIIA.
The big black dial bezel on this radio has a smooth flat black finish. I all the pictures that I have examined on the Internet, the bezel has a black wrinkled finish. In disassembling the bezel from the front panel, it looks like this was original because none of green painted on "screw seals" appeared disturbed. Is this correct for this model or has someone done a masterful refinishing job at some point in the past? Thanks for any suggestions/comments. Jim |

Sorry, the Hallicrafters is the model SX-101 MK3, not a SX-101A

Only the later models had the crinkle finish. I'd have to go out and look but as I recall the 101A and the MKIII have a number of differences including the bezel finish, frequency coverage, and main tuning knob.
