K1SVC S-40 Hallicrafters Restoration – Part 7 Final
Finally, we finish the Hallicrafters S-40 and ship it back to Arthur. I am really sorry it took so long, I hope they enjoy it.

Interesting enough, I have seen original S40’s both with and without the red numbers on the tuning lens. Not sure if that was a production run change, or so many original S40’s out there that eventually suffered the same fate as K1SVC’s. I can tell you that this, and the S38, are never going to spend time again down in my basement, as no doubt the two decades they spent down there accelerated the rust, corrosion, and help they all needed. They now are in what I call my “Hallicrafters Kitchen”, next to K1SVC’s SX42 and R42. Cannot thank you enough, Allen. Cheers, Arthur
