That is indeed strange. I can think of wireless intercoms, wireless light

Watch out for some of the very old receivers that don't have a very good
front end and are not very sensitive. I would try to look at specs and find
a receiver that has at least 1 microvolt sensitivity. Stay away from the
smaller rigs that do not have an rf amplifier and some don't. always
In audio circuits I have replaced 6v6 with 6l6 and they work. the 6l6 is
capable of more plate watts than a 6v6 but to get the best advantage you
need more plate voltage so I would use silicone diodes to replace the
rectifier tube and get a little more B+. I would not want to replace a 6l6
. Then the
radio will be like new. I tried radio daze and antique radio supply but
found nothing. I thought maybe some Hallicrafters collectors here might
know. Thanks. Jim WB5OXQ.

That is probably more than the coils could re tune to. Raising the freq you
remove turn from coil if needed but going down would require more turns per
coil and that would be very hard to do. Besides moving cb to 10 is only 1+
MHZ. Easy to do and realign.
