Am reluctantly going to sell my HQ140x while I can still get my old friend up the stairs and out of the basement as it is a true boat anchor. I am about thirteen years older than the radio.The unit is cosmetically in very good to exceptional condition on the outside and very good on the inside. All the dark maroon knobs match and the tuning is gear driven, no dial cord! Sn 697 so it was likely built in 1953. It works fine but in the interest of full disclosure the band switch needs cleaning and the unit would benefit from an alignment. Radio is very stable after a brief warm up, see the Eham reviews under amateur receivers. Asking $175 as that is at or below the low end market price from what i see. Would consider trade for something lighter like a HQ100a, HQ110a, HQ170 ,HQ180, DrakeR4B, Hallicrafters of some flavor or ? with some cash added either way +/-. Need something to go with the DX60b. Will be listing on QTH.com but thought I would try local first as the shipping will be outlandish at close to $150. The radio is a true classic and one of the finest of its era. If interested can send pictures by cell phone.
