[Boatanchors] IDing Hammarlund Super-Pro

[DJED1 at aol.com]

It's a BC-779A or BC-779B.  B was made by Hammarlund during WWII,  and the 
A was made by Howard Radio under contract to Hammarlund.  I've  restored one 
so I can provide some help if needed.  
As far as the caps, there's lots of old paper caps (in molded plastic  
package) that need to be replaced.  They are under chassis, in the RF  tuning 
unit, and in some of the IF cans.  As far as the "bathtub" units  mounted on 
the side walls, they may be OK if they are not leaking oil.   However, since 
completing the restoration, I've had two of those leak and  short.  So it 
may be prudent to replace those also.
On the other hand, the oil-filled caps in the power supply are still  
functioning well after 60 years.
Good luck
