Re: What are you using for vintage comm receivers?

Hi,  i  use  a  CR100,  by  Marconi,  of  approx  1942  vintage  ex  navy,  i  also  have  a  Canadian  AR88LF,  which  goes  well,  a  Canadian  52  Set,  another  B28  set  built  like  a  tank,  i  also  have  a  spare  CR100,  and  a  TRIO  Japanese  set....Tetrode.

I'm not into communications receivers, but, sounds like a nice set up you have there... May we see a picture of them??
Thanks........

Hi,  i  would  put  pictures  on  site  but,  just  cant  get  them  to  upload  correctly...regards...Alan.  

I am not into communications receivers either, but I have two of the S-38 series Hallicrafters.  An S-38C and an S-38E.  And an S-120 (I almost forgot it.)

I have a Hallicrafters S-38D and just picked up the S-120

Why start another thread on the same subject?

Tried to listen to Friday night bandstand, and Brian wasn't on? So disappointed. Has the day been changed or isn't it on anymore?

Hallicrafters S-120 until yesterday. My brother borrowed it until I get his Heathkit GR-64 fixed. lol

Don't have any radios I'd consider truly vintage, but I do have a Hammarlund SP-600, National NC-300, Hallicrafters SX-101, S38C, and SX-28A, military ARC-5 receivers for 160/80/40 with accompanying transmitters, a Collins designed R-390 and TCS-13 receiver and transmitter.

I'm currently rotating around the shack using several different vintage receivers.

Currently using a Hammaerlund SP-600, but I rotate receivers occasionally.    My current group also includes an SX101, SX28A, R390A and an NC-300.  

I have a hallicrafters sx-100-mark1 boat anchor also a couple of S-38s also have a set of drakes R-4 and T-4x with matching power supply and speaker.
Love them old tube radios!

I have a Hallicrafters S-107. They did make nice receivers.

I have a Hallicrafters s38, I am not sure exactly but it is a 38. I have two more of the  38 models but different versions to restore. I use to have a huge military type about 15 years ago but I gave it away. I am not into them as much as just am radios. The 38 I have going I first got to playing during the gulf war desert storm in the 90s. It was the beginning of the invasion and I found some guy broadcasting there who lived there. He was telling what he was seeing. I remember listening for hours way up into the night.

I always loved listening growing up. It was something special to me when I was trained to service and operate HF/SSB radioteletype equipment in the Army and actually send and receive some of the traffic that I couldn't understand as a kid.

I recently re-created my novice station from about 1963.   Here it is:

Depends what i have handy!RCA AR-88,SX-17,S-36A,R-388,R-391,SP-600,E H Scott Philharmonic 30 ..

a Collins Radio 51j4, Siemens E309, Rohde+Schwarz EK07D (2 of them),
Telefunken E127Kw5 (the rainbow), Telefunken E104Kw4/7, Telefunken E108Kw4 (VLF Radio)
and a Heathkit 313 as part of the line.
