Re: The First and Last Hallicrafters with Flywheel tuning?
Weighted flywheel tuning on my SX-25 and S-40a main tuning but not bandspread. SX-100 has weighted flywheel tuning on both main and bandspread. No weighted tuning on my SR-400A, nor the matching VFO.

Not the first, or the last, but my SX-42 sure has it.

Hi Dwight, Thanks for the wake up call. As recently as today, Pie Town still had snow/sleet in the forecast. Normally the snow melts off or evaporates in a day or two. There is nothing but dirt roads

I only was listening to local AM radio on the bench, chunk of wire connected to antenna terminal. It sounds really nice. Band switch is a bit stiff, will work on that. All controls and switches

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
Nick, well maybe you can ask some SX-23 owner to take some pictures for you. Other than that, any reasonable meter is better than none at least for now . If you go to swaps, with a picture you might

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

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.
