Hallicrafters S-38 Back/Bottom
 

Were these made of fiberboard? Or was the bottom metal? I have just
picked up an S-38B with neither.
Thanks,
Bob Grimes

The S-38B has a cardboard back and bottom. Only the early runs of the
original S-38 had a metal bottom with a cardboard back. All the later
versions the S-38A, S-38B, etc. had cardboard bottoms and backs.

Best Regards,

Ed,
Thanks for the quick reply. I saw a place on the net that had the
backs for the S-38 and the A model but a little trimming would do the
trick. Another site had the template for the bottom also. Would you
happen to know what size the rubber grommet/feet were on the bottom?
Thanks,
Bob Grimes

Bob Piekarz, Bob's Antique Radios in LaGrange Park, IL
http://www.radioantiques.com/

has the backs and bottoms for the Hallicrafters S-38 and S-38A
http://www.radioantiques.com/mall.html

Since these radios were manufactured in the Chicago area,
Bob was able to find the original firm that made these fiber board backs and
bottoms for Hallicrafters.
SO, you get the real McCoy (same material, same mfg.) .. abit 50 years
later.

The feet on by S-38B are about 3/8" thick and 3/4" in diameter.

Ed,
Thank you for the information. Are those feet the recessed little
grommets that can be picked up at Lowes or Radio Shack?
