[Hallicrafters] F.S. HT-37, rough but restorable, $75

[Al Parker]

Hi folks,
    I have an HT-37 for sale which is "surplus" and low in the project
queue..
    Cosmetically, the top cover (cabinet) is missing, the dial glass is
broken, the panel has a gouge in it.  The chassis top is very dusty/dirty,
probably won't come shiny clean with washing, but will remain "gray."  The
knobs are all there, dirty, but not chipped.  Rectifiers & VR tube
missing, the pr of GE 6146's test above 7000Gm (new rating) on the Hickock
6000A.  Other tubes not tested.
    Electrically, I put a 60w lamp under the pwr xfmr for 2 days, and
after removing a few leads, meggered the HV winding to gnd & to the 5v
windings, get greater than 100 megohms at 750vdc, and the windings'
resistances are normal, so the power xfmr is good.  I can see that the
bias ckt has had a silicon rectifier and a dropping resistor added.  HV
electrolytics check to have high ESR (not good), they're the originals.
    Price, as-is, $75 plus shipping from 28560, (or can deliver to Shelby
9/2,-3,-4).
    If no takers in a few days, I'll consider parting it out.
    Will get some quick pix for those who may be interested.
