Carter.. My uncle was in the signal corps during WWII. I acquired his
Hallicrafters which had 13 tubes, I believe, and did have two 6V6s in the
push/pull audio output.... and the 12inch speaker in the separater metal
cabinet with a big H across the grill. Had crystal phasing, bfo, great
bandspread tuning, an 'S' meter... all kinds of stuff to increase
selectivity. It received weak signals and more importantly, could select
them from strong adjacent stations. I've aften wanted to compare it side
by side with a modern digital set. Maybe my memory of it is better than it
actually was, but I don't know. It was really versatile at receiving and
selecting a station from a crowded location on a band. It sure was heavy.
Wish I still had it, great looking piece of hardware from time gone by.
I'd rebuild now that I appreciate it, and have the know how.
