Hallicrafters Model S-102 VHF receiver
The Hallicrafters S-120 was especially designed to meet the amateur's requirement for a highly sensitive communications receiver covering the two meter band (144 mc to 148 mc). The frequency coverage is extended beyond the two meter band to include 148.14 mc which is assigned for use by the Civil Air Patrol.The single band coverage design has permitted the use of components and circuitry to give optimum results in this frequency range.
Seven tubes and one selenium rectifier in the latest type superheterodyne circuit. The receiver will operate from any standard power source supplying 105 to 125volts AC or DC. This makes the S- 102 easily adaptable to mobile operation by use of a power converter.
Many of Hallicrafters famous quality and operatingconvenience features have been included on this receiver An r-f stage is provided for top sensitivity.Headphone or built in speaker operation maybe selected by means of a switch located on the rear of the chassis. An effective automatic noise limiter circuit may beswitched in to aid in receiving those hard to read signals. The dial calibration spreads the two-meter bands signals over a wide range so that separate bandspread controls are not needed.
I brought this unit up to operating voltage slowly using my Varistat. It lights up and makes a slight hum. I stopped testing at that point. All of the tubes are in place. Check the photos. There are some scratches on the top of the chassis and a few points of corrosion around the screen and back cover. I believe this receiver is an excellent candidate for restoration and for use or display only. This model seems to be fairly rare. I was unable to find actual production numbers.
I warrant the radio to be as described when you receive it. There is no additional warranty.
