I'd be very interested in seeing that, Which movies had the big 'H' in
them? I'd be happy with even one name...

Heck..even the famous Gilligan's Island radio didn't have an 'H' on it.

They Were Expendable movie is one of them.Next time I watch some old,old
War movies,whenever I see a Hallicrafters radio (or whatever other brand
names of radios) in the movies,I will try to remember to write down the
titles of the old,old War movies.

Carter.. My uncle was in the signal corps during WWII. I acquired his
Hallicrafters which had 13 tubes, I believe, and did have two 6V6s in the
push/pull audio output.... and the 12inch speaker in the separater metal
cabinet with a big H across the grill. Had crystal phasing, bfo, great
bandspread tuning, an 'S' meter... all kinds of stuff to increase
selectivity. It received weak signals and more importantly, could select
them from strong adjacent stations. I've aften wanted to compare it side
by side with a modern digital set. Maybe my memory of it is better than it
actually was, but I don't know. It was really versatile at receiving and
selecting a station from a crowded location on a band. It sure was heavy.
Wish I still had it, great looking piece of hardware from time gone by.
I'd rebuild now that I appreciate it, and have the know how.

Carter... Thank you for your reply. I acquired the set in 1961, my father
paid my uncle thirty dollars for it because of my interest. The set might
have had 15 tubes, I remember counting but don't remember the number.

I'm sure the new stuff is much better, just my sentiment talking.... has
to be. It sure was exciting though for a twelve year old kid to turn on
that radio and spend hours listening to stations far and near. That kind
of excitment will color one's memory.

If I had the old set, I would rebuild it. Mine was in perfect shape, had
never been worked on, but begin to lose sensitivity a few years after I
had it. I was the kind of kid that had the RCA tube manuel memorized, so
when real schooling in electronics began, I was ready. By that time
though, the Hallicrafters had left the ranch. Wish I had it now though.
Thanks for the tip and encouragement to look it up on the Internet. I'm
on my way to Google this minute.

When did you first notice your inability to learn new words? You must
have noticed it by now..it's been pointed out to you by everyone here
having over a grade nine education.

Those military chemical experiments have certainly taken their toll on
your cranium. That in itself is amazing, as it's so shielded from the
outside world.
