[NJARC] Hallicrafters S-21

[Joe Cro]

Hello Jim,
              FWIW, My two cents worth says it would be worth doing any conversion to the front panel with your "S-21" since it is a seldom seen model and not something more common. I personally have a example of a SX-10 that needs front panel work that I'd like to do to it someday. Like you, I've had mine for over umpteen years and still need that "roundtuit" to complete the necessary work to it. I feel the work it needs will be worth it in the end to preserve a piece of history rather than have a conglomeration of two different models. 

Best regards and the best of luck in whatever you decide to do with it.

  I have had this S-21 for more years then I care to remember, I think I bought it at one of the Hightstown meets so that is many years ago.  The issue is that the case has been modified to make it rack mountable by cutting the sides and straightening the curved case to make a 19 inches long front panel then cutting some slots to mate with a relay rack,  Other then this, the radio looks to be restorable.  


  The organ donor is an S-22 Skyrider Marine parts radio which uses the same front panel layout.  So the question is this; is the halli 5-10 worth the effort to do the front panel swap to make it whole again?  
  Jim
