Ebay does the same - why do you think those 87,000 or so IRS agents were wanted - ? to squeeze more money out of ??--- fun times we are living in now.

I recommend that all sellers of used ham gear stop accepting PayPal (as merchandise). This is for 2 reasons: 1. PayPal now reports all personal sales exceeding $600 annually to IRS, and you will

A comment that the S 40 A has differences from the S 40 and the S 40 B is extensively redesigned.? I think the S 40 B is superior to the earlier models even though many of the changes appear to make

Re: S-40 Restoration - Oddity around V2
Steve, I would try leaving the mod. Floating 10 ohms from ground is not much different from 0 ohms, and direct coupling of caps is not much of a change. It may add a little sensitivity but may

Re: S-40 Restoration - Oddity around V2
I use my S-40B mostly on 40 and 80 CW, paired with an Elmac AF-67. I also have an R-388, a BC-342, and an NC-183, all of which are "better" than the S-40B, but the S-40B is much more portable for

Re: S-40 Restoration - Oddity around V2
In 1959, my novice receiver, an S-40B, did yoeman service on 80, 40, and 15 meters. I worked many stations on 15, to include a few DX stations. Not having any reference to compare with at the time, it

I think one problem is rhat Hallicrafters and others pushed the upper limits of their receivers for promotional purposes.? Using higher Gm tubes in the later models helped but I think the rf coils

Many decades ago I restored an S40. It was my first receiver. My dad bought it used at Fortune Electronics in San Carlos CA for $20. New caps, many out of spec resistors replaced, weak tubes replaced

Re: S-40 Restoration - Oddity around V2
R30 is almost certainly a grid stopper to suppress spurious oscillations. Unless V2 grid pulls a ton of current (I would expect it to be zero) 10 ohms will have no effect on the signal level. As with
