[Hallicrafters] Re: Look at this beauty!

[Joe Bob Brunson]

The November, 1954 QST, pg.44 has an article on
modifications for the S-76, including the antenna
trimmer in the same location as the hole in the upper
left corner of the cabinet.  This article also details
an audio stage modification for better audio clarity,
and the addition of a dial lock to the bandset knob.

73,
