After hearing strange signals on some toy multiband radios,
my first receiver was an Allied A-2509 that Radio Shack had
on sale in the late 60's, about the time they split with Allied
Radio. Only covered four bands - SW Broadcast bands on
6, 9, 11 & 15 MHz, no SSB. Cut grass for weeks to earn the
money....

My parents through the radio away while I was in college (and
using a Panasonic RF-2200). I always missed that radio, so I
bought one in great shape, last year, off eBay. It won't replace
my Icom, but it still has a place in my memories.

I have a Hallicrafters S-38EB radio.I paid $4.00 for the radio at
Goodwill.The radio is in nice condition, it still works OK.And I have a
big old heavy A****er Kent speaker.The speaker is mounted in a round
metal cabinet, it is in Good condition.I paid $45.00 for the A****er
Kent speaker when they used to have the Flowers Flea Market, ten miles
East of Vicksburg,Missy Sippy.I also have a old Zenith speaker which is
mounted in an octogon shaped cabinet and a very old Zenith Antenna which
has the many antenna wires mounted in/on a rectangular shaped cardboard
enclosure which says ZENITH in big letters.Real old stuff, lots of real
old stuff I have.My house is cram full of real old stuff.

Speaking of that if anyone ever comes across an S38-B with an added isolation
transformer, large silicon diodes as noise limiters, odd looking dial cord
(may have been restrung by now) and a tuning knob with a chunk out of it,
it may be mine.

I gave it away in the 1980's and am sorry I did. :-)

It was last seen in the Washington, DC area.

You should do an alignment on the Halli. Those things clean up really
nice. Wear rubber shoes and use an iso transformer.
