The HQ-129 was a very fine receiver in it's time.  It will probably require some over-hauling, it isn't exactly a 'new-born' anymore.  While it won't be absolutely fantastic on the higher HF bands it will certainly do as well as the average receiver now.  Of course there'll be some differences but not as much as you might expect.  I never had a '129 but did have a '100 (the base line of the Hammerlund series).  Wish I had it back...
