Hello all,



I have just acquired a extremely good condition S-38D that someone
removed the original dial pointers and replaced them with ones made
from an aluminum Coke can! The dial cords are original so I have no
earthly idea what they were thinking! I you have a junker set and
would like to part with pointers please email me. This radio is for
my personal collection and not for sale.









Thanks,

Randy.

Google,,, Hallicrafters S 38D Dial Pointers Check the Ebay link.
Back in the 1950s I made a dial pointer from a piece of coathanger
wire, for our Sears Airline AM radio.


Analog wall clock hands

The receiver already has a pointer, made from a Coke can. If he wanted
non-original, he'd keep that. But he wants original, which means
whatever was used there in the first place, not some makeshift like the
bit of Coke can.

I was merely adding to the body of knowledge, not trying to one-up
anybody. How long have you been a lawyer?

Except you seemed to be paying attention to the village idiot rather than
the original post. He chimes in, as he has to do, and adds nothing to the
solution, yet distracts the thread so you think it's about finding any old
substitute.

I fail to grasp the import of this. Why do you even give a ****?
