[Hallicrafters] How to Destroy a Nice Hallicrafters Receiver

[Peter May]

Its obviously been built for receiving WWV on a six inch wire.
If only there were more "WWV receivers on a six inch wire" about these days.

I hate sets like this, they are the bane of my life.
It's hard to believe, but there was a time when an old tube radio was worth
nothing, anything not solid state was valueless.
So people modded and experimented these sets with no concern to the
cosmetic/aesthetic appearance value, or the interest of future generations.
If they messed up, they stripped it for parts or binned it with no regrets.
If it was missing knobs they pinched them from another radio.



Regards
