Description

Hammarlund HQ-129-X Communications Receiver in Good Working Condition

 This Receiver is in good cosmetic condition and is working.

 As with most vintage gear, it may be improved with alignment and tube replacement but it is working as it is.

 I am selling it as is, as described and no returns due to the high weight shipping cost. (Over 50 pounds adds a $25.00 Sir Charge and it is already high.

 Basically it is a pick up item and a fun receiver for $75.00 bucks.

 I live near Green Bay, WI,

  If you do require shipment I will pack it and ship at the buyers risk for any problems that insurance will not cover.
