[Hallicrafters] S-38e tubes

[manualman at juno.com]

Radio manufacturer branded tubes were very common. Hallicrafters,
Hammarlund, Gonset, Clegg, and a host of others used them in their
production. A used Hallicrafters tube is probably worth zip. However, if
you had an unused Hallicrafters branded tube in a good condition
Hallicrafters branded tube box, it might be worth something, but probably
not worth getting overly excited about it unless the tube was rather
unique. In the audiophile market, even 7027A tubes labeled Bubba are
worth money.
