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!  Icon_thumbup  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..
