[Hallicrafters] HALLICRAFTERS "S" METERS

[Jim Brannigan]

I love it.

My first radio was an S-77A, and at age of ten or eleven I was convinced 
that no self respecting SWL'er had a radio without an S-meter.
With zero knowledge of electronics I proceeded to pester everyone I knew 
about adding an S-meter to the S-77.
The most common response was "what for?" I even bought an S-meter for it, 
but I never figured out how to connect it.

That old S-77A is sitting on a shelf.  One day it will be recapped and 
brought back into service.  Thanks to Don and Bill, it will finally get an 
S-meter.

Happy New Year

Jim
