Thanks for your suggestions guys! I forgot to mention in my previous post, that this halli S-40A is a serious rusty-dog barn find!!!, missing knobs,etc, and the last time I checked ebay, there was a really nice Halli S-40A offered for real-real-real cheap,(heavy expense shipping charges understood indeed!).. and no bidders at all!! But then again, thats epay for ya. This radio isnt exactly a "gift" to me! Rather, I unknowingly "traded" for it for a new auto window-tint job ( my primary business trade) I installed on his truck last yr he never paid me for!! I let it slide $$, and never expected to ever get a dime. This friend is one of those that never has any money, but trades things instead in his "mind". Ever known someone like that before? This old halli boatanchor he dropped-off here belonged to his own dad, is just beyond my desires to restore in its present condition, but at least I got something out of the deal, a "rusty-boatanchor"!!... in trade for a $125 window tint job. I got screwed, but "hey", WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR? anyways? I could restore the old halli- electronically, but saving this "dog" just isnt worth it in my honest opinion. If I were going to do that, I should have purchased the one on ebay. It looked "new", and used parts from this dog to repair it instead!!
As for vintage sealed Black Beauty & Bumble Bee caps,the vintage amps & guitars guys also like the old BB .047 caps also! They can be used in vintage amps & also under the pickguards of vintage Gibson Les Pauls guitars ( larger routing-cavity in the Gibson vintage solid-bodies than vintage Fender guitars). Ive sold several vintage BBs before to the zz guys before! Vintage caps have "tone" not found in any others!!! Vintage late 40s-early 50s Zenith ac/dc Trans-Oceanics radios are "loaded" with these vintage good sealed vintage BBs caps, excluding the always "fried" .047 ac line bypass caps!! I like keeping a few of these vintage BB caps here in stock myself, to use in high-end vintage McIntosh & Scott hi-fi gear when needed. As exray said, probably not many guitar type BBs in this old Halli anyways. I havent looked under chassis yet, it may be the "wax" jobbers, but those are still in demand also with guitar-gods to be used in low-voltage guitars "tone" only applications amongst the guitar tone-masters. Guitar Stars "experiment" using all types vintage-caps in their guitars tone-controls these days! Dont throw-em out! Post your vintage caps on epay! Especially the .022 & .047 types!! Unfortunately, the vintage Philco bakelite blocks wont fit, unless mounted on the guitar-strap with jumper wires to the guitar.( hee hee), but Im sure someone has tried that too by now! The new-production high $ offered "wax" caps arent the same "tone" as the old ones, as Ive been told.
If you guys need any "parts" off this dog "fido" S-40A halli, lemme know! Hey Aaron, need a 60 hz powertrans up your ways in Canada for future use? I may have another good spare 60 hz one here in backstock, but havent checked voltages/amp current draw yet.Bet its still good tho?
