| I found this receiver at the 2000 Dothan, AL, hamfest . As you can tell, it had seen better days! |

| Hammarlund used quality switches, capacitors, and resistors in their
receivers, which usually do not require wholesale replacement with 'orange drop' capacitors and other components.
This receiver was typical. It needed a lot of cleaning and alignment. Here is the 'finished' product! |

| The unique feature of the Hammarlund HQ-170 and HQ-180 receivers is the ability to receive either the upper or lower sideband of an AM carrier. This is a great aid in reception when the interference level gets high in the 'AM window.' |
