A friend of mine gave me a old hallicrafters model S -40A receiver awhile back. I havent had a chance to inspect it closely. Its a heavy rascal indeed. Has anyone here ever restored one of these particular models? Its missing a couple knobs, but he told me it worked a few yrs ago on a quick test powerup. Wondering if these sets are really worth restoring anymores? If not, nice spare parts set anyways. Your opinions appreciated.
