[Hallicrafters] Wanted

[Al Parker]

Hi Larry,
	Go to Hayseeed hamfest <http://hayseedhamfest.com/> and get Tom's 
electrolytic.  About $18, but it's made very much like the original, 
with leads at the ends as needed, and fits in nicely.  About $18.  I 
just did an S-38C and used his full recap kit.  I could have tacked in 
some single electrolytics at a small savings, but this makes it much 
easier.  No connection with Hayseed other than as a satisfied customer.
	The S-38C came out great, no hums,etc., nice sensitivity, I was 
surprized.  I had started, in 1956, with an S-38D, never felt like I 
needed to recreate my novice stn, but it did serve me well.  40m & 15m 
CW, it was hard to find just where your xmtr signal was, but I did make 
a lot of QSO's.
73,
