[Hallicrafters] S-40A Tidbits...

[Cary Fries]

Hi Folks...

I purchased an S-40a on eBay early last 
week. 
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1335135047

Sent payment well over a week ago, and I can't even get the guy to 
acknowledge my emails let alone payment.

Anyway, please take a look at the pics...you'll notice that the smaller 
knobs have spun aluminum inserts.
Did this model ever have spun inserts?

Also, I noticed there is an S-40 on eBay now with the tan rather than green 
dials.  How rare is this?

Thanks,

CF
