Craig and Steve mainly
here I am still confused as usual but ,back up top Craig seemed to ask about a two prong socket which perhaps we can also see on Jeep's picture, and Steve replied that it was a "DC power connection"
my thought is that the S-40 had an octal socket to allow for "a DC power connection" which was abandoned in the B version.
so am puzzled about that.
Craig mentions having an S-40B as well as an SC-40B; I wonder if the latter is a "U" version perhaps not/poorly marked, but with a large nameplate frequency? range, and maybe voltage too??

That was a DC power connection, which was eliminated in the S-40B.? Hallicrafters covered up the outlet with a metal plate.

Subject: [HallicraftersRadios] S-40B - What is the socket on the back for?
I have an S-40B that I picked up recently and am currently refurbishing it.
I am wondering what the two-prong outlet, to the right of the power cord, is.? My SC-40B does not have this, only a plate riveted over the hole.
Thanks.
Craig, VE3OP
