I got one and it needed help, although basically sort of functional. Bought it from an ebayer that sold it as is and it had crud all over the chassis. Cleaned it up and had it looking perfect, but it had a bad pot, the RF gain I think? There is a pot in those that is an oddball that is irreplaceable as far as I know. I think it was ganged and had an odd characteristic to it. Since I could not find this bad pot replacement, I just eventually sold it to another sucker, as is. Would have been a nice little rx if it did not have the fatal flaw, nice to know about those unobtainiums before you buy something!

Good in its day

Purchased a HQ110A in 1965. It was a good mid priced receiver in it's day. However it was not nearly as good as the HQ170A or Collins receivers of the same vintage. Compared to todays receivers of course it does not compare. It was about 50 times better than my first receiver BC348 (early 1950's)

Excellent Vintage RX

Having bought and restored a couple of these receivers, I've found them to be a first class piece of equipment. No, it doesn't have a product detector or crystal filters, but it does have a Q-multiplier. In it's day, it wasn't the Cadillac of receivers, it was more like the Buick. Quite a bit more than the Chevy. It has excellent sensitivity, good selectivity when you get use to using the Q-multiplier and does an excellent job on receiving AM. Itr is built like a tank! I use it with an Hallicrafters HT-40 on AM and CW. It brings back memories of yesteryear. If you can find one on eBay or used somewhere, I highly recommend it.
