[Boatanchors] Larry Ware and the Good ol' Days was: National NC-101X

[Joe Y]

I actually tracked Larry down a few months back when I
was restoring my 101X, he answered the question I had
but didn't seem too enthusiastic. I emailed him a
second time and never got a reply. Too bad I heard he
was quite the guru of the old catacomb receivers.
