[Hallicrafters] SX42 help needed

[Joe Connor]

Dave:

    Congratulations. Those are great receivers.

    On the missing parts, check with Gary Brown http://tubes_tubes_tubes.tripod.com/ He's a good guy and has an amazing selection of boatanchor parts.

    Even though the receiver works well, you should replace the 'lytics and all the audio and tone-control caps pretty soon if you haven't already done so. I believe the tone-control caps have a bad reputation for shorting and taking out the audio-output transformer.

    Here's Phil Nelson's excellent article on his restoration of an SX-42: http://antiqueradio.org/halli07.htm
