Thanks for prompt service, Tom!
I got the recap kits for the Hallicrafters S-38 and the Knight T-60
today. The parts
look good, and it's going to be great working
with parts with nice shiny new wire leads instead of the
grey (almost unsolderable) wire on my crusty
junk box parts!

I gather you're not into "restuffing" ?

Confess I've never done "restuffing" to get boatanchors
going for fun, but did a bit of it when working for food.
Older marine electronics gear often had "unobtanium"
parts....... relays, vibrators and such where one could use
the original cases for newer guts, and it was really the
only way lots of old stuff could be repaired without
"reinventing the wheel".
12 volt 60hz, 4 pin vibrators were my specialty.
(aided by a glut of 32 volt NOS vibrators) GRIN!

Okay, Old Chief. Those 12 volt *60Hz* vibrators were a scarce thing
back then. Still are.

Yup, back then, working for food.......... 30 years back?
