This episode, we check out a Hallicrafters S-40A that, in an initial testing we didn't capture on camera, would not show any signs of life. We manage to get it going, and it seems to work pretty well, although it should still have some of the capacitors replaced eventually. Viewer Sorphin tells us about his old RadioShack phone dialer in Echoes From The Asylum, and in Welcome To The Waves, we welcome William Ferguson, KF0HVK to the fine hobby of amateur radio!
