More information on
Skyrider SX-32 (SX32) (Hallicrafters, The; Chicago (IL))
The Skyrider SX-32 has been introduced in RMorg with the tubes 6AB7, 6SK7, 6BA7, 6SA7 etc. and this model has been dated 1941 - 1943 for production years.
In our tube sheet we list the tube 6BA7 as from first production year 1948.
I would like to clear this because one of the data is wrong. I checked Rider's but found only nearly unreadable plans and no solution yet.
Who can help with solid information please?
