Hallicrafters Model S-38 Communications Receiver (1946)

One of the most popular shortwave radios ever made, the charming Hallicrafters S-38introduced many thousands of people to shortwave and CW listening. It appeared in 1946,immediately after the World War II consumer radio hiatus, and was priced at only$47.50, making it the entry-level receiver for the Hallicrafters line.

This advertisement from Radio News magazine of 1947shows the S-38 along with two more expensive Hallicrafterssets.

Description

Using six tubes, the S-38 is a transformerless AC/DC radio with a metalcabinet and integrated speaker. Its compact size and low cost made it very attractiveto radio-hungry consumers in the postwar years. Following the original S-38 weremodels S-38A through S-38E, remaining in production until 1961.

Despite its simplicity, the S-38 is a 'hot' radio, offering good sensitivity.Like more expensive shortwave receivers, it has a separate bandspread tuner,automatic noise limiter (ANL), and beat frequency oscillator (BFO) for CW listening.It covers frequencies from .54 Mhz to 32 Mhz in four bands.Many collectors consider S-38 the most desirable model in this line, sincelater models lack the BFO feature.

With distinctive semi-circular dials, the S-38 through S-38C models arevery recognizable. Models S-38through S-38B are black, some with a wrinkle finish. The S-38C has grayhammertone paint. The S-38D and S-38E have a rectangular dial but have thesame features as earlier models. The S-38E was offered in beige and mahoganyas well as gray.

Here is the lineup of the receiver's tubes:

From a collecting standpoint, the S-38 line is a good way to get started with'boatanchors.' Manufactured in great numbers for more than a decade, theyare still plentiful, and you can often find a good one for less than $50.I paid about $45 for mine.

A nice feature of the S-38 is its ability to flip quickly across the bandsto see what stations are on the air. But it does lack a couple of features thatI've grown to appreciate in my fancier boatanchors: an S-meter andan antenna trimmer. An S-meter indicates the strength of the incomingsignal and a trimmer matches the impedance of your antenna,both aidsto accurately tuning weak signals.

A friend recently sent me someHallicrafters literature that explains how to add an S-meter to theS-38 and several other Hallicrafters models. Our resident engineer, WalterHeskes, tried out the project, and provided an updated schematic.Check out our S-38 S-meter page forconstruction details.

First Look

My S-38 was complete but rough-looking when purchased. The followingphoto shows the set before restoration.

As you can see, the black cabinet was splattered with paint specksin two different colors (mostly white, but some red). Based on the paint,and the amount of dirt found inside, I suspect that this was somebody'sshop radio.If you look closely, you can see a large blob of dust in the middle ofthe speaker. Although a top-mounted speaker conserves space, it alsoserves as a wonderful dust-catcher!

Electronic Restoration

The radio had not been used for some time;most of the slide switches on the front were frozen solid. The first thingI did after removing the chassis from the case was to spray DeOxit insideall the controls, freeing them up and cleaning out accumulated gunk.

After I slowly brought up the power on an autotransformer, the radio didplay, but the volume was very weak. Powering it down, I proceeded to replacethe old paper capacitors. (See ReplacingCapacitors in Old Radios.) I also cleaned the entire chassis and testedthe tubes, all of which were good.

As boatanchors go, this is an easy set to work on. The undersideof the chassis is uncluttered and there are only about ten papercapacitors to replace.

After the recapping was finished, the radio played quite well, but the volumewas still weak. Looking for the source of the problem, I tested the voltagesof each tube, comparing them to the values given in the schematic. I alsotested the volume control's resistance. Everything checked out OK, so Itried another shot of DeOxit inside the volume control.

To my delight, the set woke up and played with plenty of volume. Some times,one cleaning is not enough!

Not much work had been done on the electronics before I got this set.The only previous service, apart from replacing some tubes, wasto replace the filter capacitor in the power supply. Since the radioplayed without any hum, and had no power-supply problems, I left thatfilter capacitor in place. The next photo shows the underside of thechassis after restoration.

Cosmetic Restoration

That left the cabinet, which looked pretty daunting at first. Soap and waterdid nothing to remove the hundreds of paint specks, and scraping them off oneby one was not an appealing prospect. After a little investigation, I found aproduct called Goof-Off 2, which claimed to remove latex paint specks. Availablein a spray bottle, this worked very well.

The trick is to spray on the cleanerand let it soak for a few minutes, before rubbing the paint specks with a softrag. Winavi all in one converter keygen serial number. Within ten or fifteen minutes, the cabinet was completely clean. Unlikesome solvent-based cleaners, Goof-Off 2 is not stinky. That's a real bonus whenyou're working indoors.

Use care when cleaning cabinets with painted lettering. Scraping or rubbing thelettering too hard may damage it, no matter what sort of cleaner you use.

The upper left corner of the cabinet also had a rust spot about the size ofyour thumb. To remove therust, I carefully applied some naval jelly with a Q-tip swab and let itwork for a few minutes. Then I wiped it off and cleaned that corner againwith Goof-Off 2. The paint on that corner was worn completely away,so this treatment left a bare metal spot on the corner.

I haven't decided whether to repaint that bare spot. Some paint 'touch-ups'end up looking worse than the boo-boo that you're trying to cover up!In present condition, the radio doesn't look like a museum piece, butit's pretty presentable. And it performs like a new radio.

Safety Note: Like all 'AC/DC' type radios, the S-38 presents the danger ofelectric shock if you touch its chassis while plugged in. To minimize the risk, youshould always operate the radio from an isolation transformer rather than pluggingit directly into the wall. Isolation transformers are available fromAntique Electronic Supply andmany other sources.

About one year after finding this S-38, I ran across another one in a thrift store.The cabinet looked rough, but the price was right, so I brought it home. It performed very well after routine maintenance. Perhaps I'll put it in one of mysons' bedrooms to get them interested in shortwave listening. (I won't forget to providean isolation transformer to ensure safe operation!)
