Hello Andrea. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate these fine Hallicrafters rigs in operation. Most appreciated. Your collection of classic radios on your QRZ page is lovely. Your wooden rack mount with the AR88 is it is a brilliant idea and beautifully crafted. . Take care. Mike VE3XLF.
I had a lot of different gear during that period and after but my favorite transmitter was the HT-32. It tuned up easier than another except the CE-100 no-tune. The VFO was very stable, looked and felt terrific. Thanks for showing your collection Andrea-KM6XZ
Great demonstration of the Hallicrafters Andrea. I have the HT-37 matched with a SX-101, the model which includes 160 meters. I also have the SX-101A. 73 OM
I purchased a used Hallicrafters SX-101A in 1966, which eventually was joined by an HT-32 and HT-33B exciter and amplifier. I don't anything at the time short of Collins gear could beat it.
Yup, you got that one right! I still have my old HT-32B, matched to an SX-111. I really wish I had an SX-101 Mark III, to correctly match the HT-32B. Hallicrafters made some really great stuff in their day. Unfortunately, the company fell apart when its founder, Bill Halligan, retired and sold the company. Times changed rapidly, and the company could not really keep up.
That's awesome but doesn't the manual say never under any circumstances place anything on top of it? Yet I see it all the time. Awesome, though. I have the HT-32A
The bottom unit, an HT-32, is a transmitter. It weighs probably 75 to 90 pounds. It has a fan under its cover to cool the unit, so the SX-101 receiver should not really be placed upon it, as ventilation to the HT-32 is an absolute necessity. By the way, the SX-101 receiver on top probably weighs as much as the HT-32 transmitter. That's why they refer to these rigs as "boat anchors" because of their size, bulk, and massive weight.
Nice looking Hallicrafters receiver. Enjoyed the video demo. Seems like your BFO is drifting like crazy. Does this ever settle down after a good warm up? I have the first year (1947?) Hallicrafters model T-54, 7" electrostatic CRT television receiver with Channel 1, and octal tubes in the IF. They changed to miniatures the 2nd production year. I mention this because your radio and my television set share the exact same style flip lid steel cabinet. This television would look very much in place in your hamshack.

Just gorgeous!!
What a fantastic set up I have a full house of many goodies awaiting me and retirement to get started on fixin'
Very nice. I have an old National NC200 rcvr, and a Heathkit DX 100 transmitter. I like the old stuff! 73's from Dave AB1GI
Tears came to my eyes. Thanks so much for this post. Fantastic station you have there!
Very nice vintage gear, thanks for the look at it.

We used to make some "good stuff" in America, huh?
