I looked in my catalogs and couldn't find the HQ-129X, so I went on the
net and did a search.

One link said it was made in 1945, and it IS a nice looking RX, I got my
Novice ticket in 1958 so that is why I'm not familiar with the 129X.

My beginning as a SWL was in the 1950's when a person on the next block
had heard that I was interested in Shortwave Radio and gave me a Midwest
radio with the instruction book, they were made in Cincinnati, Ohio.

On the back of the Speaker was a Filter Choke for the Power Supply,
instead of a Permanent Magnet.

Some of the Resistors in it were very long and had metal end on them.

When I was looking through my 'stuff' I saw both the NC-303 and the
NC-300 - the K6NCJ Navy Ham Shack had the NC-300 reciever.
