I also had a used Hallicrafters receiver ( S38?) in the 50s. It is
still in the attic. The caps were replaced many years ago, but it is
probably dead now.
During the WWII yrs, my Dad had a GE table model receiver that had
shortwave bands. I enjoyed that one as well.

headphones as well.) The Boston Marine Operator was particularly interesting.

as something out of Australia.
Listened to a lot of dits and dahs, comfortable in the absence of knowledge that
within a few years I would be intimate with such communications methodologies, and
able to undertake copying them while being shot at. <g>

had some WWII-era Hallicrafters radios in relatively good shape on exhibit.
