[Hallicrafters] S-22-R

[Raymond Brown]

Greg
I gave the radio a large amount of armor-All. And it is looking great. I 
found something very humorous about the radio. When I found it. It had two 
screws holding the lid down. I removed them to find the inside very dusty, a 
few spiders. But complete. When I was finishing cleaning the radio. I was 
going to clean the inside of the lid. When I found written in red wax 
pencil. Keep your hands and tools out of this radio. Somebody's son was 
doing a little adjusting while dad wasn't home. Now we know why the lid wes 
screwed down. To stop little hands from messing with the radio.
