Ran across this today, thought you all might enjoy the meme from a very bygone era Yes, I have one of these. And an S-38, S-38B, S-38D and a S-40 and S-40B - what can I say, - my wife like Big Iron radios...If they have a big H on the speaker...
None in the -38 or -40 flavors here, but I do have an S-20R, SX-99, and an SX-110 along with a Hammarlund HQ-110 that is paired up to a Heathkit DX-60
I have one of these and an older Zenith Transoceanic of the same vintage these don't get much play as the tubes are rare/stupidly expensive. This gets the play these days sadly shortwave broadcasting is all but dead and the propagation stinks on stink. Still, when the bands are open, I can escape to a different world for a short time....
My G-pa had a Transoceanic like that one above. Sadly, when he passed, it went with the estate. Had I known to ask, I think I might have scored it. Sure spent a lot of time spinning the dial when we went to visit.
