i am on my 7th resto on halllicrafters,,, i do agree they are very stable units.. the highest model i have resto'd was the S-53 which was free.

the BFO is prob some simple gimik cap where a wire is wrapped around a certain other wire for a minimum of 2 turns,, yet i have played around with that idea and have found that 4 turns wakes up the bfo sensitivity really good.

at the moment i am on the hunt for an SX-42,,, i think this would be the very best radio ever made for all things SW & FM,, but its gonna be a true representation of what we call boat anchors.
