[Hallicrafters] S-38A OOPS!

[michaelj]

Hello Fellas,

I come begging assistance and understanding.  I am fairly new at this old radio restoration game but fully obsessive compulsive about it already.

I have made the ultimate new knucklehead mistake and need some help. I recovered a S-120 and a S38A from the junkman both REALLY needed recapping. Well I did the 120 step by step without interupption and it now works wounderfully.

I blew it with the S38A I had started the project [ unsoldering and removing] and had only gotten as far as the 35Z.. when I was interuppted and had to set the project aside for a few days and then come back to it.  I did not take the time to diagram the connections that I had just undone and figured " well I can just rely on the schematic"......

Well Dyslecics are US !!  

Please... if any one has one of these radios could you turn it over and look at the tube socket and send me a 

list ???
diagram ???
or 
Crayon Drawing for complete dummies ??

of the connections pin by pin for this tube.... ie AC line cord pin locations..... electrolitic [ my radio had a 70mf 150v from the original can multipule electrolitic on this socket and none of the manuals or schematics i have show it]

Any way the more complete and Heathkitlike "drawings for dummies" the information could be the better.

I promise I will get better at this and will ALWAYS MAKE MY OWN DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS before I get my chubby little fingers involved in the future.

Thank you   Thank you
