Hammerlund HX-500 Transmitter with HQ-170AC/VHF Receiver

Very rare Hammerlund HX-500 transmitter. Less than 600 built in 1962. This one is serial number 525. It covers 80-10 meters and operates in CW-LSB-USB-DSB-FSK and FM. This was a very expensive transmitter in it's day. As you see, it works perfectly. There is some wear on the trim plate around the tuning dial and meter but the rest of the radio looks great. Could use a little cleaning inside.
The receiver is a Hammerlund HQ-170AC/VHF. It covers 160-2 meters and operates in AM-LSB-USB and CW. It has a few more marks than the transmitter but also operates great.
Includes matching speaker, manuals and cables to interface the two radios.

Brings back memories of when I was first into the hobby. Thank you for your video.

Well, that gives me a little hope. Mine's now aligned and working great and is in pristine condition. I'll try listing in the near future.

Currently aligning my restored HX 500. I have two of these great radios and am looking forward to using one and selling the other. I'll wait till yours sells before I list mine, though..

That is, $1500 for the HX-500 by itself.

I ended up settling for $1500.

You should take up Ham radio as a tribute to your uncle. I'll bet you have it in you. The hobby is growing every year in spite of cell phones and internet. God speed to your uncle.
