All, I started to work on this Hallicrafters I picked up at a local Antique store. I already have a S38E so I thought I would add a S38A . Price was right because It had a broken Band selector switch..
Case is in pretty good shape..

Burned Resistor and big black spot.. Looks like whoever wired the power cord in wired it on the wrong pins and took out the resistor.. I was able to get a band selector switch and will wire it in.. Then look at every connection to see what else might be wired wrong .. Here is bottom...
