The Hallicrafters S-214 receiver was manufactured from 1967-1971. This receiver is in excellent condition. I restored to excellent working condition. When I got the receiver it barely worked. The switches and controls were dirty, and it needed an alignment. The case was extremely dirty and once it was cleaned up it looks really nice. The power cord was replaced with a new one. I also had to replace the dial lights. The telescoping antenna is original. I just replaced the button on the top of the antenna.
This receiver covers the AM broadcast band, FM broadcast band, and shortwave from 5.9kHz to 15.55kHz in four bands. Fred Osterman in “Shortwave Receivers Past & Present” says the Hallicrafters S-214 is a very scarce receiver.
Contact me if you have a receiver you want restored.
Nice job! Do you remember what part the dial lamps were?
Unfortunately, I don’t and I don’t have a manual.
Hello;
I have been looking for quite awhile now the Hallicrafters SW Receiver that my grandparents bought me as an 8th grade graduation gift. I believe it was the S-214 model. Unfortunately I have no photos of it and can only go by my memory of staying up late at night to dial in stations from all around the globe. I used a simple 75ft. long wire antenna that ran from my room window to a tall pine tree. Does the one you have still work? Would like to hear back from you. All the best. Paul
I acquired this radio, restored it, and then sold it. The S-214 is relatively scarce and hard to find. This one was in really good condition.
