[Hallicrafters] S38 Knob Needed

[JOE]

I totally agree with you.  The S-38 series was known to teach young SWL's 
in the 50's what electrical shock feels like.  I know because I got my 1st 
receiver, an S-38E, in 1958 and learned why you don't put your tongue on 
the radio.

Don't ask, it was one of those things you just have to do as a 10 year 
old........

A 3 wire cord with the ground to the case should do.  The case is suppose 
to be isolated from the radio chassis, but who knows if the integrity of 
the assembly is still intact.
