[Hallicrafters] S-40A parts

Tue Apr 5 01:39:03 EDT 2005 

A note to the group here: I have a Hallicrafters S-40A chassis with all the 
tube sockets intact and several capacitors I replaced there too. The large 
resistors are there and read within specs of the time. The original factory 
labeling and the 3 screw antenna plate, meter socket and alternate power 
socket (with plug) and the nameplate are all still on the back too. Only 
thing on the top deck is the large cap(disabled).

I also have a complete case including the top. All the paint has been 
stripped from the outside of the case and part of the inside of the case. 
The top has been partially stripped of paint as well. No dents, in good 
shape. The chassis is in good shape too as I had partially restored it 
before deciding to part the whole radio out.

Name your price for either or both and they are yours plus shipping to the 
USA only. I want them to go to someone who will put them to good use.

Scott, KC7KOJ
