On 6/1/2025 11:42 PM, Leland Bahr wrote: It all started back in 1953 when I was a young kid and got my first receiver, a Hallicrafters S-38C. As a ham, I worked the world with it on 10 meters AM. That said, I have loved Hallicrafters S-38 receivers every since and can't stop collecting them. Right now I have decided to restore one of my S-38B receivers. I purchased it off of eBay around a year ago. The cabinet is not perfect but close to it. When I got it I was excited to restore it but soon found out this would not be easy and I shelved the receiver. The problem I initially discovered was I could not remove the knobs. Some fool had screwed up the Bristol knob set screws to the point it was impossible to remove them no matter what technique I used and I used a lot of them. I finally yanked on the knobs and the two large knob shafts pulled out of the radio along with the knobs. I was able to remove the small knobs using a Allen wrench as these knobs screws were not molested but had Allen instead of Bristle screw heads. Now that I plan to restore the radio I'll need to replace the two main tuning fiber shafts along with new knobs. (Graphite 6mm rods are available from hobby airplane shops) I'll have to restring the dial too. (I use Kevlar kit string when doing this.) The chassis is clean but looks rough. (I think someone must have cleaned the chassis at one point.) Since the dial strings and shafts need to be replace it will be easy to remove the dual tuning capacitor assembly, so I'll be doing that and then spray painting the chassis before putting the tuning capacitor assembly back in place. The dial face lens is not in the best of shape, so I'll replace it too. I initially wanted to purchase a new dial lens but the price is not reasonable. Then I thought of vacuum forming a new one myself but after examining the old lens, I determined it would be much easier and much less costly to just use a thin flat piece of Lexan. I'll just tape it in with aluminum foil and on the outside will look a new original lens. I have checked all the tubes and pilot light and they check out excellent. So that is where I am right now. Lots more to do. Sure hope I don't have the Silver Mica Disease. Plan to replace the usual 90% of all the resistors plus all the paper caps and electrolytics. Then align the radio and clean all the controls. It should be a pretty nice specimen when finished. I've done enough of them to have all the required resistors and capacitors at hand. When I initially started restoring old radios I would always use a resistor with one wattage size larger as this would make the replacement around the same physical size as the original resistor. But in 2025 I might have to replace an old 1/2 watt resistor with one two wattage sizes larger as new resistors seem to be shrinking in size again. Of course I'll replace the power cord with a new 2-wire polarized cord and make the lead swap in the radio so the white wire goes to the rectifier tube and the switch is in the black wire lead. The All American Five radios are a 5th Wonder of the World! It's amazing how well these radios work with so little parts and complexity. It's my experience it takes $50 to $75 worth of parts or more to really restore these radios and it takes 50 to 75 hours of time to really do a good job restoring them. (In many cases you have to replace rubber insulating grommets as well and sometimes replace missing original type labels and graphics. If you tried to sell the radio for what you would have in it, it would never happen. But when the job is finished, you get a rush hard to describe and well worth the effort. I get tons more enjoyment doing this then operating a modern new ham transceiver. My other love is the Hallicrafters SX-71 receiver. Both the moon 38 and 71 receivers were cosmetically designed by the famous Industrial Designer, Raymond Loewy. Lee, w0vt

Thanks for the add David .

I have an exceptional SR-400, all it needs is a new pa LOAD cap. I would really like to find an original. Its a nice radio that I would like to keep original.

Working on a SX 43 and am wondering if others have run into this issue. I have reception on all bands but only when I connect my long wire antenna directly to the RF adjustment pot for the corresponding band. I have not tried to connect my signal generator yet as it’s a little intimidating compared to other simpler radios I’ve aligned. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have replaced the all the caps including the filers.

Hello,I have a SR-2000 transceiver and power supply that needs restoration. The transceiver is a 2002 series and looks to be original. Any interest or comments and leads would be appreciated. I am a new member.Thanks,Roger DivitoReno,Nevada Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android

I had the rear panel for the P2000 remade. I was missing one. This is the sample artwork on cardboard. I found the closest press board I could find and dropped it off today. They will print me a few extras. If anyone wants one let me know know. I am unsure of cost yet. Just reply with your name and how many you want. Holding this to the original, it is identical. Same exact size, font and data on panel. They did a great Job digitally scanning and cleaning up the writing.

I have had several contacts for help with problems in the HA-1 T.O. KEYER in the past couple months. So, I wrote a test & repair guide for the HA-1.
