[GreenKeys] Hal ST6 info

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

 There was not a board retainer system in the ST-6.

I don't think HAL was "cutting corners." The ST-6 was simply intended to sit placidly on 
an operating desk, not go rattling around the countryside. I don't think we say most 
ham radio manufacturers were cutting corners because they didn't include tube retainers 
in all the gear.

All equipment I have worked with that has plug in boards has 
retainers to prevent the boards from "rattling around". Is there a 
board retainer system on each of these ST-6s that someone left off or 
did Hal cut corners?
