Hi, Peoples.

I was out looking for a piece of furniture yesterday at a used place and
noticed a Hallicrafters receiver winking its eye at me and saying in an ultra
sexy voice, "He, big boy, wanna take me home?"

Throwing caution to the wind, I slipped her in the house before my wife could
catch me with a sexy, older goodlooker like this Hallicrafters.

She agreed to stay - even though she's quite a model - but she won't tell me
just what model she is.

Ok, back in the fifties I had a S-38B and a S-53Ahis radio is in no way
comparable to one of those. For the life of jme, I can't even start to figure
what the market was for this thing.

Slide-Rule Tuning" 9-1/4" long by almost 2-1/2" high.

Controls: [get this, there are only four total!).
Volume Tone, Band Selector (left-to-right). Knobsabout 3/4" in diameter,
brown with a "gold" inset. Spaced under the "slide-rule".

To the right of all that is a brown (it actually appears to be real leather)
panel which is a mite more than 4-1/2" by almost 3" wide. On the top part of
it is the circle-h with hallicrafters under it. Below that is a brown knob -
about 1" wide and with a skirt. This is the tuning knob.

And that's the entire front panel.

I haven't pulled it out of its cabinet yet as the power cord is seriously
defective and I'd like to do a smoke test before anything else.

Now, of course, I didn't just think, I /knew/ that this was a 5-tube AC-DC.
Low end rcvrs always are [well, "were"] and especially from Hallicrafters.

[Hey! When I counted them I just didn't see tube #6 - it's inside an
enclosure behind the tuning knob and is mostly inside a little metal shield
(rf?) and is 90 degrees to the chassis.]

The rear panel has 4 screw connectors:
common
ext sw 2
ext fm3
int fm 4

There's also on the rear panel at the lower left a 1/4" jack for "phones".
Inside the back panel is a ferrite-bar ant.

The cabinet is mostly wood-grained metal. The front panel is beige (with that
"leather" panel) and the area around the three "smaller" knobs is not smooth
- "bumpy" (can't think of the word) beige plastic.

Oh, the tubes are minis. Looks like four 7-pins and two 9-pins.

There's a serial number on the back (6 numbers then a space then six
numbers).
On the bottom are six patent numbers on one label. The other label (part
missing) gives credit for other patents used to RCA and Hazeltine Research.

The radio is really caked with dust to a measurable thickness.

What I can see of the linear dial is six bands and the frequencies of cities.


So. What have I got here?

My guess is that it's gonna work fine. It's not young but it's obvious that
it's never smoked.

So far, the only things wrong are the aforementioned ac cord and it's missing
one of the three smaller knobs (where does one get "authenic" things like
that?).

As always / many thanks,

They sure had a wide range of low production oddball models, mostly from the
mid 50s through the early 60s. I can make a wild guess and speculate that
Hallicrafters TV production was dropping off in this period, and they were
tossing odd radios out, hoping something would tap into an otherwise unknown
market.


Slide-Rule Tuning" 9-1/4" long by almost 2-1/2" high.

And that's the entire front panel.

I looked through my copy of "Radios by Hallicrafters" book, and I couldn't
find a match. I might have overlooked it, but there aren't many AM/FM/SW
low end Hallicrafters tube radios.

Could it be a variant of this?:

http://www.qsl.net/la5ki/wr.htm

This is from:

http://www.qsl.net/la5ki/halli.htm

A tube lineup is a good clue to such variations.


I haven't pulled it out of its cabinet yet as the power cord is seriously
defective and I'd like to do a smoke test before anything else.

Now, of course, I didn't just think, I /knew/ that this was a 5-tube
AC-DC.

The Dachis book shows a transformer version of the S-120 at about $20 more.
I wouldn't have thought such a thing existed, either. I'm sure it wasn't a
big seller.

Oh, the tubes are minis. Looks like four 7-pins and two 9-pins.


There might be a tube chart glued to the inside of the cabinet. If so, the
Hallicrafters model number could be printed on it.


There's a serial number on the back (6 numbers then a space then six
numbers).
On the bottom are six patent numbers on one label. The other label (part
missing) gives credit for other patents used to RCA and Hazeltine
Research.

missing
one of the three smaller knobs (where does one get "authenic" things like

Other Hallicrafters radios, mostly. Hallicrafters shared knobs between most
of their radios. The production run/year is more important than the actual
model of the radio. Standard 1/4 shaft replacement knobs usually won't work
on most of the later AC/DC radios because the shafts are recessed behind the
panel. A workable knob can usually be found on another AC/DC radio.

The part number may or may not be helpful. There's several variations of
Hallicrafters knobs on some of the radios I have. Some have a nickle plated
brass ring insert. Some have a stainless steel "hubcap" cone insert. Some
are plain. There might be one or two setscrews. All have the same number
molded on the back. There are different numbers on the big knobs and little
knobs. Of course, you may not have numbers on the knobs.

You can ask about the knob on the rec.antiques.radios+phono newsgroup.

Hi Gary -- if you can get a look at Chuck Dachis book "Radios By

I looked in my copy -- but the nearest is the R Series -- 5R10, 5R100, etc.

I took a browse through LA5KI's "Hallicrafters Gallery"
(www.qsl.net/la5ki/halli.htm), and it looks as though you may have
picked up an S-210. At least that photo comes closest to what you're
describing.

Fred Osterman's book "Receivers Past and Present" lists the typical
used price at between $50-$90, and describes it as "very scarce". So
for $6 you done good. I imagine with a good cleaning, it will present
itself as a nice "table radio" that with the right antenna will bring
in some of the larger international b'casters.

Good luck.... Mike Spengler

- "bumpy" (can't think of the word) beige plastic.

Oh, the tubes are minis. Looks like four 7-pins and two 9-pins.

There's a serial number on the back (6 numbers then a space then six

On the bottom are six patent numbers on one label. The other label (part
missing) gives credit for other patents used to RCA and Hazeltine
Research.

The radio is really caked with dust to a measurable thickness.

What I can see of the linear dial is six bands and the frequencies of

So. What have I got here?

My guess is that it's gonna work fine. It's not young but it's obvious

So far, the only things wrong are the aforementioned ac cord and it's
missing
one of the three smaller knobs (where does one get "authenic" things like
that?).

As always / many thanks,
