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.

K1SVC Hallicrafters S-38 Restoration – Part 1

Arthur has asked me to restore two of his father’s Hallicrafters receivers.  His father is K1SVC and his name is also Arthur.  He sent me a S-38 and a S-40.

In this video I show the condition of the S-38 and S-40 and start working on the S-38.

By the end of the video I have the S-38 chassis removed from the case and strip the top of it of components to prepare for cleaning.

The next video will show the cleaning, polishing and reassembly of the chassis.
