Also whilst on the subject of refurbing these old beasts are there any new panel transfers available? so I could have the front and cabinet resprayed and re lettered? Like the Halicrafters logo and the red and white lettering I've seen new dials for the R1155 so maybe someone is producing these items? from Ron...

Hi Frank thanks for the info, I wish Bama did have the manual but when I download what they say is the manual all I get is a couple of pages on replacing the ballast resister :(( from Ron.... The S-77 is described as the AC/DC version of the S-40B. The power supplies are the major differences, the alignment instructions should be the same. So, try downloading the S-40B manual, or any of the others from the S-40 series. Frank Dresser |

RockSea Enterprises has the lettering for many of the Hallicrafters models. http://members.aol.com/RockSeaEnt/ -Bill |

Hi Yes I had problems with both the setting of the dial and the tracking on Band 4 I think you have to accept a little variance but I'm very pleased with its performance and have been using it on 40mtrs CW alongside my Home Brew QRP CW Tx. Re The Transfers well in my searches I came across this http://www.lazertran.com/ If you read the Ink jet one it appears that you can print a design on this paper which become waterproof on drying and can then be cut out soaked and wet slide transfered on to any surface including paint or metal!! so you could I assume take a close up digi photo of any logo or decal, clean it up and print it ready for use, nice little niche market hi!!! thanks from Ron...

If the decals from RockSea aren't complete enough, drop Mike a line and I'm sure he'll be happy to add any missing words. He posted here some while back before jumping into Halli decals looking for all the various words, etc used on the sets. If you want to DIY your own decals thats easy enough. A font that is VERY close to the Hallicrafters font is named CHANL and you should be able to find it on the web. Waterslide decals via your own printer are great but inkjets are at the bottom of the heap for producing a decal that works on a dark background because of the inherent transparency in the ink. Laser Jet is better, ALPS dry transfer is perfect and your local copy store is great with their $30k machines if you bring along the decal paper stock...about $1 per sheet. -Bill M |
