I was hobbling around (torn meniscus) at the flea market here in San Jose this morning and came across 2 almost mint (for 70 year old radios) Hallicrafters Morale Radios. One is a Sky Courier and the other is an R100. Both are crinkle finish OD and have obviously been taken care of since the end of the war since neither of them have any more that light dust and zero chassis rust. The Sky Courier needs a new leather handle but I believe Antique Radio has them available. I did wash off a goodly amount of nicotine but I expected that. Complete tube compliments and clear dial faces. I need to run the tubes through my TV-7 and see what their condition is and the dial cord on the R100 needs to be restrung but other than that they may have a chance of working if the filter caps aren't bone dry.

Does anyone have a manual for the R100?

Wish me luck!
