Hallicrafters S-40A
#2

Its a pretty good old rig. I refurbed one several years ago. Two oddities I recall were audio/acoustical feedback from the speaker mounting and there is something incorrect in the service data about restringing the bandspread dial.

My version seemed to be on the verge edge of being too unstable for SSB at around 14 Mc and above. You could copy it but it was a bit warbly.

All in all I think its a good radio for its price range.
