Hey guys, it has been awhile since I have been on the forum, work has gotten the best of me right now. I traded a Philco 15x and a Zenith for this set. Man am I in love with this SX-16. Right now only the Filter Caps have been changed out. I plan on re-stuffing the other condensers and any burnt out resistors. This set sounds absolutely amazing, that PM Dynamic Speaker really makes a difference.
I'm hooked on the pre-war, and WWII receivers now, they are built like a tank. Now I have only experimented with the Broadcast band, this thing has 6 bands. I am most interested in the C.W. I would imagine the BFO switch has something to do with filtering the signal to a frequency the ears can understand. I don't know much about this area of radio, if anybody can explain the BFO and crystal functions on this receiver that would be great. Also to my understanding this is a 1937 or 38 set, did they use any of these models during the war. I also noticed there is a send and receive switch, connected to a transmitter, could it be possible to send out transmissions, such as Ham or a radio station, I know that requires a licence of course.

Are these sets somewhat hard to find, and do they command a high price, I traded the 15x and a 9-S-262 for this receiver and matching speaker.

Jon: They are nice sets and decent performers. That silver dial gives the SX-16 such a cool look.
Yours appears to be in tremendous condition and that matching speaker is very nice. The SX-16, which has one RF stage, was soon superseded by the SX-17, which has two RF stages. The story I heard is that the FCC considered buying SX-16s for their own use but asked Hallicrafters to add another RF stage. Thus, the SX-17 was born. I don't know if that story is true or just urban legend. You're on the right track on restoration. Replace all wax paper caps and check all resistors.

A fair number of resistors will probably have drifted more than 20% above their rated value. An RF and IF alignment might help, too. You can download the instructions from BAMA. The BFO can do a decent job on SSB signals. You simply turn on the BFO injector, turn the AVC off and rotate the Pitch Control and the BFO Injector.
It helps to lower the RF Gain, too. If you tune in an SSB signal on the ham bands and play with these controls, you'll soon get the hang of it. You can download the Operating Manual for the SX-17 on Bama and it explains the BFO function further. I doubt that SX-16s were used in WW2, although anything is possible.
