Del spends a crapload of money......on old test equipment

Those 5-tube radios had lots of hours and definitely were not designed to Tek/HP/General Radio standards ;)

Worse is "alleged ham gear" like the Hallicrafters S-38 series. They were AC/DC "series wired" transformerless sets, with a METAL case, sold as "ham receivers" where the company should have known that young, inexperienced kids were going to hook them up with other equipment.........their novice transmitters. VERY dangerous
