Hi,
    From my limited experience I rate the following Hallicrafters in 
terms of difficulity of replacing capacitors, line cords, adding fuses, 
checking resistor values, alignment and whatever else that was needed 
in bringing the following units up to "snuff".  One of the hardest 
tasks is undoing and correcting work done earlier by others.  One is 
easy, ten is difficult.
Unit         Difficulity
S-41G     2
S-38C     3
S-38E     3
SX-111   5
SX-71     6
HT-37     6
SX-62    8
SX-42    9
SX-42    9

And as an additional data point, I've done 8 to 10 Zenith 
Trans-oceanics and rate them at about a 4 in difficulity.
