Hammarlund's original ad for the 170 said, "for single sideband at its very best."  The HC-10 SB convertor had the same IF as the 170, so it's good.  The 170 is ham-band only, 160-6 meters, triple conversion on 40 & higher, double on 160 & 80.

HQ-170 no. 1, s/n 268, finished 3/22/02 

Cabinet stripped & repainted, panel stripped, painted, silk-screened.  Electrical work as req'd (not much), added fil. xfmr to keep 1st conv. osc. filament on all the time, similar to the "A" model.  Full alignment. This is a very clean receiver, as can be seen.

Please realize that these pix aren't high-resolution, and that some things may be missed, and some "non-things" may show as bright or dark spots.  The close-ups are a good representation of the actual.
