I went to the Dayton #Hamvention #hamfest this year with the intent on finding a #Hallicrafters S-38C. The gods smiled upon me, for a good example was had for a good price. I drug home some other thing I didn't need as well, check out Friday's finds on my project page:
One of the things you should expect when purchasing an old radio is that the filter capacitors are bad. For this #Hallicrafters S-38C, it was no exception.
Seeing has how #technology has improved over the years, I've though about spinning up a PCB with SMT devices to replace the dead can in this unit. That's probably going to offend some purists, but I want the thing to work.
I have a #Hallicrafters #radio on my bench for capacitor repair, and had someone ask me why the dial lamp is in the circuit the way it is.
The dial lamp on old #electronics can be more than a lamp...sometimes it's used as a ballast for the rectifier #tube.
Check out why on my project page.
