Need Hammarlund HQ-180 Parts/Information

[Mike Souhrada]

Robert  ET AL
Rob you may not be missing the covers at all. Early versions had the two
covers but Hammarlund found that on occasion they only created a trap
for moisture
and served a limited use.In time they became a detrement to reliability.
They were eliminated in later production runs.

I prefer not to use SS rectification for a radio designed for tubes.
Reason is the swing of DC will be higher and cause other problems down
the circuit path. Of course you do reduce the heat but I've not found
that
to be critical to operation. In addition we were using 110-115 A/C then
now we are up in the 123 VAC range and with the multiplier effect a few
volts really add up on those old radios.

No help on the above.
