In your last message you asked....

 RB> Best regards, (73)
 RB> Dick, W5MFD since 1946

PM>I've also restored 2 Hallicrafter communications receivers I have an
PM>SX 71 and an SX 101. Have you ever heard of a Hallicrafters radio?

 HG> Peter!

 HG> What a question to a ham licensed since 1946!!!  Think first!

Well, over here not all that many amateurs are familiar with the brand name, 
although it is pretty renowned in the states.

Would you have heard of a Kingsley AR7?  Maybe not, it is a famous Australian 
communications receiver, very similar to the HRO in appearance with plug in 
coil boxes. It is more attractive than the HRO as it has a nickel plated front 
panel.

 HG> New question: Do you know without looking up anything what
 HG>               Central Electronics Inc. manufactured?

I would have guessed that they made resistors, potentiometers etc but the name 
doesnt really ring a bell with me.

Cheers
Peter
