HALLICRAFTERS HT-32 MARK 1 NICE CLEAN AND WORKING

Description

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A HALLICRAFTERS HT-32 MARK 1. THIS RIG COMES FROM AN SK ESTATE AND WAS STORED MANY YEARS. THE FRONT PANEL IS EXCELLENT,  THE CASE HAS VERY MINOR SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES AS SHOWN BUT EXTREMELY NICE FOR ITS AGE. I BROUGHT IT UP SLOWLY ON A VARIAC THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF A DAY  WHILE MONITORING THE CURRENT WITH NO ISSUES AND IT TUNES UP AND WILL EASILY PRODUCE IN EXCESS OF 100 WATTS. THE CW NOTE IS CLEAN AND THE SSB AUDIO WAS TESTED WITH AN UNAMPLIFIED D104 IS VERY NICE. THE PTT AND VOX WORK AS WELL.  THE AC CORD IS CRACKED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RESTORATION CANDIDATE FOR THE FALL WINTER AS IT HAS NO ISSUES AND HAS NOT BEEN MESSED AROUND WITH.
PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER DUE TO THE AGE OF THE ELECTROLYTIC AND PAPER CAPACITORS THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED BEFORE PLACING THE RIG INTO SERVICE.
FAILURE OF THE ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS CAN DAMAGE THE POWER TRANSFORMER WHICH WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE. IN ADDITION I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GO THROUGH THE RIG AND CHECK THE TUBES ALIGNMENT ETC. KEEP IN MIND THIS RADIO WEIGHS 85 POUNDS SO SHIPPING COULD BE EXPENSIVE DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE. IF THE SHIPPING IS LESS THAN WHAT EBAY QUOTES I WILL REFUND.
LOCAL PICKUP IS ENCOURAGED AND PREFERRED.
SOLD AS IS AS DESCRIBED PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE AMATEUR RADIO GEAR AND ELECTRONICS. PAYMENT EXPECTED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
