K1SVC Hallicrafters S-40 Restoration – Part 1
We take on another Hallicrafters restoration. This time an S-40. Most of the restoration will be cosmetic on this one, but we will have to check some resistors and replace some electrolytics.
This video gives an overview of the condition of the unit and I also show a S-40B that we will be working on at the same time.
K1SVC S-38 Hallicrafters Restoration – Part 8 Final
In this video we finish K1SVC’s S-38. I show how we replace the speaker, and then run into trouble, the new speaker doesn’t clear one of the tubes, so we go to plan B. Then we install the new back and make a new bottom label.
Finally, we put it back to work listening to some shortwave broadcasts and a SSB transmission. Next step is to box it up and send it back.

In this video, we take a step backward and then move forward again. The water slide decals prove to be unacceptable so we move on to dry transfer decals. In the end the process looks great and hopefully the next video will be the last in this series.
