Still need to replace 5 caps yet.. Then pin out the connections from the band switch .. To make sure I wired it correctly.. Then I need to order a 50L6 tube. I do not have one in stock. I have a replacement for the 35Z5 tube and the others test OK..
I do want to make this more safe so I will check the web for ideas...
If all checks out then on to power up..

Your work is very neat and clean!
Too often, my work looks cluttered. It works well, just cluttered. Joe

Thanks, I was even able to get it aligned to the Top end of band. Lucky I guess.. No problems receiving 20 Mhz..
Its now safe and working great.. Next is to get more S-38's I now have a 38-A and 38-E.. To complete collection..
