That's about right, Al.   Textron bought Globe in Sept. 1959 and moved 
the manufacturing operation to Rockford IL in 1961.   I didn't go 
through the entire year, but GC Electronics (Textron's division that 
included Globe, RME, and General Cement) ran a 2 page ad in the Dec. 
1962 issue of QST that featured the RME-6900, HG-303 (along with its' 
screen modulator kit and matching VFO), the Globe Chief Deluxe,  and 
other products.     Out of curiosity, has anyone else got (or even seen) 
an HG-602 six and two meter transmitter that was also featured in that ad?

As a side-note, the reason I have the Dec. '62 QST handy is because it 
includes a product review on the WRL SB-175 "Meteor" DSB-AM-CW 
transmitter.  Pat, WB9GKZ, used his Meteor to conduct the Vintage SSB 
Net on 3840 last Saturday morning, driving an AL-80B amplifier, gaving 
me the opportunity to complete our second "Meteor -to-Meteor" QSO.   My 
Worked All States-DSB total still stands at one however, so more DSB 
contacts are welcome!
