I picked this SX-117 in a trade; it came along with the HT-44 transmitter. The SX-117 seems to be working properly though performance is low. Voltage checks are close enough to align it, so that is the next step.
The SX-117 was produced by Hallicrafters from 1962 through 1964. Its companion transmitter was the HT-44, and the pair was the final set of separate transmitter/Receiver units the firm produced. It is a triple conversion receiver that is very stable considering no voltage regulator tubes were used.
During its short production run, several factory changes were made. This receiver is one of the early units, so some of these upgrades may be in order.
