[Hallicrafters] When the lights are on, and nobody seems to be at home

[Peter May]

Regarding the SX-101 I think you might need an octal "jumper"plug wired for
AC operation in the back of it, before you get any sense out of the set.
Mine is made from an old octal tube (valve) base. It think from memory that
it has pins two and three jumpered.
You should refer to the Hallicrafters manual to check this.

Regards
Peter
