Hallicrafters S19R receiver.

I don't consider this receiver as being an Amateur receiver, but a SWL receiver. It's pre-war and it never could've worked properly.
It has resistors that are from the old convention, even resistance values, IE 25K, 50K etc. Most of the resistors read within tolerance except the 50K's. All of them read between 84 to 86K, every one. They couldn't have increased in value that drastically. They must've been wrong from the beginning.
I'm going to replace all of them. The color code is green, black and orange with a silver tolerance band and all look pristine.
