Hallicrafters S-52 Receiver

Up for Sale a Hallicrafters S-52 Receiver.  This unit is in good condition and powers up. The Hallicrafters S-52 Receiver is a single conversion general coverage receiver.

Its external appearance is nearly identical and its circuitry is similar to the S-40 with the 25Z5 rectifier and 25L6 audio output substituting for the type 80 and the 6F6 in the S-40 and with a dual-triode 6SC7 substituting for the 6J5 and 6SQ7 in the S-40. The radio's 9 tubes include a plug-in ballast that was selected for either 120 volt or for 240 volt operation. The B- in this set (one side of the power line) is "floating".
