Hello all,
I have just acquired a extremely good condition S-38D that someone removed
the original dial pointers and replaced them with ones made from an
aluminum Coke can! The dial cords are original so I have no earthly idea
what they were thinking! I you have a junker set and would like to part
with pointers please email me. This radio is for my personal collection
and not for sale.
Thanks,
Randy.
Google,,, Hallicrafters S 38D Dial Pointers
Check the Ebay link.
Back in the 1950s I made a dial pointer from a piece of coathanger wire,
for our Sears Airline AM radio.

The receiver already has a pointer, made from a Coke can. If he wanted
non-original, he'd keep that. But he wants original, which means whatever
was used there in the first place, not some makeshift like the bit of Coke
can.
