Oh.
I thought it clear from my previous post, I have had one in functioning order before, lots of hallicrafter rigs too... An uncle living in the midwest had a few army surplus stores, years ago. He had buildings full of that stuff--I used to go though it and could have for the asking... But he http://www.monteriallc.com/spectrum/receivers.htm you will find radio technology to blow it away...

I own a nice working Hallicrafters S-38 EB radio.It is sitting on top of
my big old antique trunk in my dining room.I bought it for $4.00 at a Goodwill store about seven years ago.It isn't for sale for love or money.Yeah,I own a bunch of real good old radios (two of them are floor model radios) I bought real cheap over the years. cuhulin |

Yes, the new stuff is small, light, etc.. and has lots of modes and such.. but it's almost uniformly garbage. And paying more money doesn't guarantee anything.. look at the Satellit 800. Back in the day, the cheap 'crap' of the day was so much better quality and built to last many times longer than the best there is today. "Progress" isn't always good. |
