Hallicrafters S-40B

I was lucky enough to be given this radio from an ex-Ham who was cleaning out equipment. It appears to be in great shape and even though I haven't had time to open it up,I'm sure the inside looks as nice! This was a lower end priced radio when new but very popular receiver from the early 1950's. This was only owned previously by two people so that might explain the condition.

When I have more time I plan to do a visual inspection and will probably do a Capacitor replacement because they usually are dried out . It will be also slowly brought up to operating voltage with My variac. eventually i would like to pass this to a local young person interested in Radio- maybe a future Ham!!

Vertical Up!!

My Nephew has the Hustler 6BTV up and guyed,coax connected and the Kenwood TS-850s hooked up and He is hearing lots of signals! He doesn't have any radials yet so the tuning is not good, but its' close to being ready. Maybe in the next week or so We'll have a QSO!
