[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters HT-37

[Misic, George J.]

DW,

The HT-37 is a phasing SSB rig; it is sort of a budget version of the somewhat similar [and even heavier] HT-32 [the HT-3w2 is a filter rig].  In good shape, they do just fine.  Once cleaned and aligned, they tend to work well for fairly long periods.  73.

Hello,

I stumbled onto one that is very clean, looks great. Have not found a 
manual or put power to it yet.

Does anyone have any experience with this xmitter? Does it use phasing 
or filters to generate SSB? I have heard horror stories about phasing 
methods to generate SSB. What I'm looking for is a transmitter to pair 
up with my R-391 receiver, for a vintage AM/CW station. The HT-37 does 
not have AM, but has DSB, which will work, but how well for AM?

Are there any unusual maintenance problems?

Is this xmitter worth an extensive restoration and is the signal quality 
when up to factory specs worth the effort?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
DW Holtman
