Re: A Hallicrafters S27
It's an iconic receiver, in my opinion - and the history made it a must have for me. I've yet to see one with an original o/p transformer - mine at least had a replacement push-pull item. Problem is that the original had a tertiary winding for the tone control (odd to have a comms receiver with a "Bass-boost" facility!). A bit deaf, of course, by modern standards - not helped by the fact that a PO had attempted to tweak it up to 2 metres. I'm afraid mine only gets used for broadcast FM. Got to love the acorn valve front end, though.
