Hallicrafters S-40A
#3

Thanks Bill! I love vintage radios, but Im not really into the hallicrafters communications type receivers. I stock lots of new caps, but I prefer installing them into other nicer vintage home type receivers. I figure I can dismantle this boat-anchor ,and come out with a good used pwr trans, some spare usable 6v tubes. Hopefully the spkr should be ok behind the metal cover, and some still-good orig sealed type black-beauty caps that my guitar buddies like to remodel their vintage amps with. The vintage guitars & amps collectors love the used black-beauty caps to bring back authentic tones.Seems the last customers halli I restored several yrs back had plenty orig black-beauties caps under the chassis if I remember correctly. Good "donor" parts set I guess.
Thanks again for your info on this vintage Halli receiver!! Sincerely, Tex
