[Hallicrafters] Mystery S-76

[Mike Everette]

I have original manuals for three versions of the S-76 -- the original, Run 2 and Run 3; but truth be told I haven't closely studied them enough to be aware of circuit differences.  Nor am I aware of the serial number series associated with each run.

73
