Is that the same as the S-40 (with out the A)? If so there is a stringing
diagram here on page 4:

I hope this helps.

I am in the midst of restoring a Hallicrafters S-40A. I think someone
has changed the stop on the bandspread capacitor. AFAIK all H receivers
have the bandspread set at 0 and this represents minimum capacitance. On
this RX 0 has the bandspread cap completely closed and the frequency
calibration can not be brought in. If set at minimum it sets up fine.
There are other signs that the bandspread cap has been fooled with.
I have seen one picture on the web which looks like the dial pullies
have been strung to correct a similar problem. This is not what is shown
in any of the S-40 series service material. My question is: will someone
confirm that the S-40 series bandspread cap should be at minimum with the
dial at 0 and has anyone else encountered this problem?
The peg which forms the stop seems to be firm in its socket. If its
sticking out on the wrong side I may have to restring the dial pullies to
compensate. Thanks for any help.
