high bucks shortwave receiver

[Rob]

That's the Hallicrafters receiver that uses the same 19" rack case as my Hallicrafters T-54. I have the early model T-54 from 1947 with the octal IF tubes. Has channel 1. This was Hallicrafter's first model television set, and what else would you expect from a company that made communications receivers but a TV that looked like a communications receiver! I fully restored this a couple of years ago. I thought they were cool ever since I first saw one on the cover of the 1948 Allied radio catalogue and was so pleased to finally obtain one.
