Locked Re: S-38C antenna

I cannot answer that question.? If you don’t already have one, your best bet is to get a service

manual for the receiver.? You can get them from various sources such as radioreprints.? Do a google

search.? I do not know if you are setup with test equipment but you may want to think about getting some

of the basics if you are into restoring? these old radios.? I too get all my tubes from the same company and

I have found some of the tubes not up to par.? Don’t assume because they are in a box, they are good.? Unless

you tell them to test them prior to delivery, it’s pot luck.? One of the first items I got was an old tube checker

of which many are found on Ebay.? It took (3) tries to get the one I needed.? If you order any tubes from any

vendors, tell them to check them first.? It costs a little more but it is worth it.? In the meantime, go get the

manual if you don’t already have one.? Good luck with it.

Thanks for the tip. It has all NOS tubes from Antique Electronics
Supply that arrived on Saturday!?

What would be the expected
(approximate) range of the AVC voltage measured on the 12SA7 converter
tube with a) no antenna and b) a fairly strong local AM station?
Am I looking for a range of 1/2 volt or so or several volts difference
between conditions a) and b)?? I wish I had another similar radio here
to compare with mine.


Thanks again

This site is dedicated to the free and open exchange of ideas, advice, technical and general information about Hallicrafters transmitters, receivers, home entertainment equipment, and all other Hallicrafters products. And more importantly, this site is dedicated to the large number of fans, cheerleaders and users of this wonderful equipment which utilized the technology of vacuum tubes.

Hallicrafters equipment was on the front lines (literally) during the early years with military communications radios. On the home front with shortwave receivers, amateur transmitters and home entertainment equipment. Truly an American company.
