Hallo in die Runde !

Hat jemand einen Kurzwellenempfänger "Hallicrafters SX 28" in seinem Besitz ?

Mich würde ein Bild der Frontansicht und der Rückwand interessieren, um Originalität wiederherstellen zu können. Auch über eine Abgleichanweisung und einen gut lesbaren Schaltplan würde ich mich freuen.

Viele Grüße aus Erfurt
