[Hallicrafters] S-40A Tidbits...

[jackiv at juno.com]

Re the S-40 and its variations. 
I quote from Chucks book   "the only difference I have found between the
S-40 and the 
S-40A is the color of the dial. Some S-40 dials were white (amber with
age). 
The S-40A dial was green). 
I have a couple of white (now yellowed)  nos, Have the S-40 part no on
them,
 look like sss.  No Not for sale. I no longer furnish H-C parts or
supplies.
Too much of a hassle with the purists.One person was upset because the
 parts were not cosmetically perfect and not in H-C parts boxes..   
 yup, he will get bucks back-  whenever.
