[Hallicrafters] S-53?

[Glen Zook]

No!

The S-53 has a completely different i.f. from 455 kHz, the tube line up is different, and the S-53 has an additional higher frequency band to cover 6 meters.  It is a better receiver than the S-38 series but definitely not up to the S-40 series / S-85.

Is the Hallicrafters S-53 basically a S-38 with a power transformer?
