Saw this in the baltimore CL. Guy didn't know how much it was worth, and wanted to trade Ham equipment for it. I offered my old Hallicrafters S-85 Receiver (tube AM and SW..1955-59 vintage). Deal was struck.
Top Laquer is flaky, cabinet in great shape otherwise. It was in his basement and he's fire it up once a month or so for the last 15 years. His WAF was :thumbsdn::thumbsdn:.
Two of the knob caps were missing. Turns out that consoles save them in the damnedest places. Clenaed the cabinet with a weak solution of Simple green and a greenie. Then Orange oil. 3 coats later it's not soaking it up in 5 minutes on the top. The rest of the cabinet got 2 coats.
Electronically it has the 59T Tube Tuner / pre amp and the 59A Hybrid amp. The BIAS Pots are missing and a marking on one of the Filter caps "MOD" indicates that the fixed bias mod was done. Gotta check on that for the diode FISHER used for my 49A. One RCA tube and the rest original FISHERS or ITT for the 6HU8's. All tested high side of good even the12ax7's.
Dirty pics 1st.
Ever seen a WHITE MIRACORD 10F?
