[ARC5] OT: Hally Instability.

[Richard Knoppow]

    I am remiss for leaving out Hallicrafters wonderful industrial 
design and styling.  The employed some of the best designers including 
Raymond Lowey.  Their equipment was quite sexy looking and looked like 
radios.  I think that is why so many of them appear as props in movies. 
There were certainly other outstanding designs but mostly individual 
recievers or transmitters, Hallicrafters managed to make the whole line 
exceptional looking.
