RESTORING A HALLICRAFTERS HT-17 TRANSMITTER
THE ABOVE PICTURES ARE AS IT WAS WON ON E-BAY (LESS THE COILS, THEY WERE MISSING) FROM: "maggie99" WHO ARE GREAT TO DO BUSINESS WITH !!
AS YOU CAN SEE MANY HOURS WITH "MOTHERS METAL POLISH" IF YOU USE IT, DON'T LOOSE HEART JUST KEEP RUBBING IT OFF WITH A CLEAN CLOTH. THE BLACK WILL END !
THE DIAL WAS SCRATCHED UP DUE TO A SHRIVELED UP PLASTIC WINDOW, IT FORCED THE POINTER INTO THE SCALE. I MADE A NEW ONE ON MY COMPUTER AND ATTACHED IT WITH POSTER TAPE, I ALSO PUT SOME CANDLE WAX ON THE POINTER TRACK AREA TO MAKE THEM SLIDE SMOOTHLY (OIL WOULD GET INTO THE SCALE)
YOU CAN SEE THE ADDED "METER OPTION" IN PLACE OF THE LAMP & THE PLUG IN PLATE COIL WWW.OLDRADIOPARTS.COM HAD THE METER!
WITH IN THE SAME HOUR I WON THE MISSING COILS ON E-BAY FROM "BAYWOODMIKE" WHO IS ALSO GREAT TO DO BUSINESS WITH ! THESE WERE MADE BY "BUD" THEY FIT AND WHERE WIRED CORRECTLY TOO ( A LOT OF THESE WERE USED IN THE LATE 40'S AND 50'S) LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE QC INSPECTION TAG DATED "JULY 22, 1947" THAT IS ALSO MY BIRTH DATE! THANK YOU "maggie99" for taking care in shipping it !!
MORE LATER AS I WON A MATCHING RECEIVER TOO.
