[Hallicrafters] SX-71 has Graduated (to the listening bench)

[Al Parker]

Hi Phil,
    For domination & good looks, it's hardly in the "big" boatanchor class.
Whatcha gonna work on next?  I've been following your excapdes closely, but
you really oughta try an SX-28, SX-42, or SP-600.  Maybe even an R-390(a)?
    Congrats on doing a great job, and keeping us posted.
