Hallicrafters S-40B ham tube type shortwave Receiver Troubleshooting dead band testing method 

Excellent Terry, something easily overlooked and gives insight to poor sensitivity on different bands.

The bottom of the receiver looks great with the new caps. King Kobbler must have corn-gratulated you.

Thanks D-Lab. Videos from you like this one inspired me to get my Ham licenses a few years ago. Now I know what you're talking about(mostly) when I watch these videos.

Thanks Terry for showing this testing tip!

I Love these types of videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Terry!

Thanks for all the tips!

Great info video wow learned something new so happy thanks a billion 73s Mike

Sounds really good!

It is very much appreciated, please.

Great stuff! I could have used this advice about 15 years ago on a Hallicrafters S-108 that had a dead band. As it was, I couldn't find it, had no idea how to approach such a problem, and I sold it with that problem noted. This may be a dumb question, but I'm guessing the A2 to GND link on the antenna strip has to be in place to test bands 3 & 4?
