[Hallicrafters] ht37

I would have to agree with Carl about an audio transformer problem in 
the SSB generator.  I have had that happen.  Unfortunately there are not 
too many options if that is the case.  You can try to find a parts unit 
with a good SSB generator.  It's not all that difficult to remove from 
the chassis.  If you have time and patience, you can rewind the 
transformers.  If more than one of them are open, paying to have it done 
is probably not worth the cost unless this particular HT-37 has 
sentimental value for you and cost isn't a consideration.  The only 
other thing I can think of is to search the ham fests for interstage 
transformers.  I see them occasionally and they do show up on eBay from 
time to time.
