I've done some research on Hammarlund, and the HQ-170 only covers the ham bands. The 180 is the one to have for general coverage SW. I think (and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert by any means on Hammarlund) the HQ-180 was their top of the line receiver.

Thank you for sharing the photos. Icon_thumbup

I found a Hammarlund HQ-129X this morning at Radiofest. It's in the back of my truck now. Icon_biggrin I could just leave it back there as a ballast this winter. Wow, is it heavy! The knobs are all replacements/incorrect/newer, but for $75 I could not pass it up. Photos later.
