Hallicrafters Model S-40 Communications Receiver (1950); AS-IS Vintage Tubes!

This unit is being offered as-is for parts / repair only. I plugged it in and it lit up. As I was trying to figure out how to use it, white smoke started coming up out of the case.So obviously I turned it off and stopped. No further testing done. It's been stored for many, many years prior to my testing, so there is no telling what's going on with it. The smoke could be something totally benign. In any case, at a minimum there are some very nice looking vintage tubes inside including a Zenith and Raytheon. See photos for details.
