[Hallicrafters] SX-73 / R-274 Starting Resto

[Anthony Quinn]

I had this same question when I started.  The mil-spec sheet normally lists the type of oil and you can cross reference it from there.

I did a a SP-600 a while back too and I  and became concerned when I found oil in the bathtub caps. So I did a little searching on-line and found the general consensus  is they probably have pcbs in the oil, like old telephone transformers, so I would recommend you don’t open them to restuff. Not sure where to get a crystal since I’m hearing all the good Crystal companies have closed, likely from either someone’s junk box or eBay. The radio is looking great , thanks for sharing.
