<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I found a HRO50T and drug it home from SF.
It obviusly needed re-capping so I was able to replace all of the .1 and .01
caps. Looks like someone has been in here before me! There is a
cylinderical object mounted along side of the mode switch in the lower right
side of the chassis. It has its own socket and says "2.6" on the
top. It is wired into the rotary switch that selects the modes.
Could it be that this boatanchor radio has a 2.6 kc filter? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Also, I got an original owners manual with the
radio but manual is marked as a HRO 50-1. What is the differences between
the T and the -1? I also got a Sam's PhotoFact sheet but it is marked as
HRO 50, with no suffix. It seems that my radio more closely resembles the
T than the -1. The front panel is marked HRO 50T. Anybody know what
the differences are between all these? It appears that the -1 has a 3rd IF amp
and the T(Sam's) doesn't. My radio seems to be missing the 3rd IF. The
serial number of my receiver is 293-0445. I would appreciate any info that
would help to determine what I have. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>It came with a AA and D coil, which are gray and
are the 50 type coils. I also got a mint E coil but it is black wrinkle
and has handles. This is the only coil that produces intelligent signals
from the radio. The previous owner took the coil levers off the front
because, according to him, the E coil would not fit into the opening with them
installed. Since this was the only coil that works, he made a good
choice. I assume that these levers are not needed to run the gray coils,
but I do remember with my first HRO 50T back in 1958, the levers had to be
closed.</FONT></DIV>
