Fair to say that after some 20 years of use, this group is using perhaps 1GB of the 30GB allotted?? Perhaps some dos and don'ts on group posting etiquette from the boss? I ask this since some posters

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
If one does feel a shock, reversing the AC line plug should eliminate the problem, shouldn't it?? In the S-38B this current is below 5mA which is the threshold of the GFCI outlet. Logic: Method used

Tell me about it! A very long time ago I began to have trouble remembering names. Never forgot anything but was sometimes very slow on remembering. Has gotten worse. I asked my doctor if I was

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
In general, I've had trouble finding original Hallicrafters knobs. They are a unique design or rather several designs. On the S-38 and some other receivers, like the S-40 series, there were tuning

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
On mine, the set screws are almost flush with the surface of the knob flutes when tightened. Since those set screws are connected to the chassis, meaning a metal shaft, it might be possible to

Halden, I hijacked your 3 pix and piled them up so voltages superimposed, now you can see them all together with a bit of imagination. A little more work, and I might get all the blue, but I was

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
The knob is insulated but its still possible to contact the set screws although they are pretty deeply buried. The shaft can still contact the cabinet if they are not centered in the holes. I think

Do you mean the KNOB or the SHAFT? I don't think any metal knobs were used on the S-38 series. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL SKCC 19998

Thanks, Don! That's exactly the kind of clue I was hoping for.? You're right, I did not control the polarity of the last cycle before turn-off.? So my statement about invariable remanence is not
