Re: Hallicrafters S40-B Restoration Advice
I have an excellent S-40B. I was incredibly fortunate to find this one so as to replicate my first operational station in 1959. It appears as-new. All the paper stickers still in place. I did re-cap

Re: Hallicrafters S40-B Restoration Advice
I had fun this morning. I started up my 1952 Hallicrafters S-40B receiver today, very carefully. I first cleaned the controls, then plugged in the receiver with my Variac and Dim-Bulb-Tester in line.
Re: WTB/Info SX-23 S meter

Re: WTB/Info SX-23 S meter
Nick, do you have any of the original meter ,or is it all gone? Other Hallicrafters meters of that vintage might be the best bet, but I know little[nothing] about the differences. Good luck, hope you

Re: WTB/Info SX-23 S meter
Thanks, guys.? Anyone know where to find one of these backward meters?? I've seen some posts around where people claim you can adjust a regular "left zero" meter to become a "right zero" using the

Re: WTB/Info SX-23 S meter
With no power it should be to the far right. After power up it should slowly move to the left. Walt Cates, WD0GOF https://wd0gof.com/Hallicrafters A majority of acceptance is not proof of correctness.

Re: BRAIN BELCH
That's great, Walt. I have encountered a couple of? noisy sockets in this SR-150 but have yet to get such good results. Did the voltage checks around the Driver and Finals finding that with 120VAC

Re: BRAIN BELCH
Walt that obvious simple test, should be near the top of everybody's routine test list; but get some asbestos gloves first, it is one test that can bite back. I know I don't have to tell you that, DO

BRAIN BELCH
You know, sometimes a fellow needs to follow his own advice. I have been working on an SR-160. As of this morning I had put 12 hours into it. I was getting nowhere. I spent considerable time ensuring
