BLAST FROM
THE PAST
Link to old Blast's
Hallicrafters,, radios young ham's dreamed of in
the 1960'sIn the 1930s, the shortwave radio craze was
just beginning to sweep the nation, and Hallicrafters
radios began to boom from coast to coast and around the world! Until the 1980s,
this Chicago-based
firm aimed for the average consumer, and produced high quality radios on the
cutting edge of
technology, all reasonably priced. Today, collectors of electronics are
fascinated by these pieces of
radio history, most of which can be restored to their original working
condition.
NOW, I just got this info....
the complete book (pdf)
showing EVERY Hallicrafters device ever built.
(Actually mindless in scope and the great pictures)

THIS IS A 55 MB file (big)
There is more info about these S-38 radios, about 1/4 way down this pdf..
Introduced in 1946 ... $47 was a pile
