[Hallicrafters] HT-37 project

[KB9GKC at aol.com]

Hello Walt,
 
It's difficult to find an HT-37 in good condition, I currently have two  
very nice condition HT-37s and I picked up the last one 5 years ago for  $200. 
 It's not restored but works good after an alignment and has a super  clean 
face, chassis and top/bottom cover. 
 
 An excellent restored HT-37 should be in the $400 - $500 range.

A  little over a month ago I picked up an HT-37 at a local hamfest. I have  
recapped it and replaced a few out of tolerance caps and resistors. It is 
at a  point where all functions are working properly. I did not intend on 
keeping it  when I got it. It was just a project hoping to get another old 
boatanchor back  on the air. It is an operator not a museum piece. Case could 
use some paint  and there is discoloration on the chassis, more like stains 
than rust. So far  I have put about $140 and 30 hours labor into it. But 
before I sink any more  time and $$ into it, what is a rig that looks like a 6 
and operates like a 9.5  really worth.

All  human achievements are empty and disappointing when pursued as ends in 
 themselves.
