Hi, I have a Hallicrafters S-38E that I receives as a birthday present
from my parents in 1957. Over the years it became more or less
outdated, electronically (single coonversion, analog tuninf,etc.} As a
novelty/nostolgia receiver it is fine and connected to a decent
antenna and ground its capable of picking up the major broadcasters. I
wouldn,t sell mine, only because its full of memories for me. It's
definately not a DX macine but it is a nice visual peice for the
listening post. Over thhe years it's been reliable, just the
occasional tube and a recapping back inn 1979.
Regards,
Charlie -
