Crossover Halli S-41

[David Hollander]

The radio is an Echophone. Bill Halligan bought out Echophone in 1935 
and started making Hallicrafters radios in the old Echophone factory at 
2611 Indiana Ave. in Chicago. Before that, Hallicrafters gear was made 
under contract to the likes of McMurdo-Silver, Howard and others. 
Hallicrafters used the Echophone name on several low-priced receivers in 
the early to mid-1940s. The Hallicrafters S-41 and the Echophone EC-1A 
are the same radio with different paint jobs. Your S-39 was made by 
Hallicrafters.


The Hallicrafters S-41W (white cabinet) and S-41G (gray cabinet) and the 
Echophone you are referring to are all the same receiver.

My first receiver was an S-41W given to me by my dad in 1962. I still 
have it. I also have an S-41G.
