Hello Richard:

Repair of a radio, using what is available and by a method
not envisioned by the designers grants you a free pass to
call yourself a true ham for one more year.

You get a special award of merit for applying that much
effort to a radio that is not good for much, other than to
get it running as intended then putting it back on the
shelf.

I hope I can one day apply that much energy into my WERS
transceiver, which transceives on 112 mc, more or less.

Good work.

Thanks for the complement :-)
I'm not really a collector and like things to work
rather than be just display items. It was also a challenge.
Hallicrafters stuff is always interesting. They were
good at meeting market needs, sometimes quite innovative but
mostly quite conventional in design, rarely best of class
but very often very good values. The one outstanding area is
styling: mostly quite sexy looking, maybe the reason one
sees H equipment so often as props in old movies.
