[Boatanchors] Rare HT-36 has surfaced

[rbethman]

I hope he has at least enough knowledge to begin by drawing out a schematic.

That's going to be a tough act!  If he is *absolutely* green with refard 
to hollow state, he won't even be able to tell what are capacitors vs 
resistors.

Hell, even I have problems with some of the Hallicrafters gear!  I have 
to check parts VERY carefully!

Don't get me wrong, *I* would love a challenge like that.  However, it 
definitely is not easy, simple, NOR fast!
