Apparently, people have taken my interest in Drake equipment to mean that I'm interested in old radios of all kinds. Well, that's not so much the case but when someone wanted to lay a thing like this on me:
I couldn't say no. This thing weighs enough that it could actually function as a boat anchor, BTW.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
A little on the heavy side, but cute with nice knobs.
Ohh, check out those sideways toggles. Kinky.

What a classic piece. If that was an chick, .......... oh never mind.
I'd fondle those knobs.

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
Keep it for the impending Nuclear War. Not only will the tubes withstand EMP, but the bulk of that radio will work better then a lead lining at blocking radiation. It is pretty!

Look for an SX-28 with the panadapter unit. Maybe an HT-4E transmitter to go with it. You're talking vintage tooobey AM at that point.

Got the radio fired up yesterday after replacing the dial cord on the main tuning with some braided Dacron fishing line (it's smaller in diameter than the original cotton cord but it worked—after several tries, anyhow. I'm glad the S 20B has a relatively simple set-up compared to some of those old Hallicrafters radios); it's got some power supply hum so I guess I'm going to have recap it one of these days but it's listenable. I tuned into the Padres game and listened to them get their asses kicked by the Reds; an inauspicious first test of the radio to be sure.

I think the Cubbies have a better record than the Colorado Rockies this year.
