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. |
