Hi All,

I am still looking for a whip antenna  for my SW-500. If anyone has one to 
sell please email me at wormchile at aol.com.

There have been some interesting recent discussions concerning potentially 
hazardous materials as used in the old boat anchors manufactured before the 
1970's. It goes without saying that good ventilation is a must when cleaning and 
restoring these old rigs. Also, a good investment would be a box of the plastic 
or rubber gloves as used by food service people. These can be had reasonably 
at places like Sam's Club and should go a long way toward preventing unwanted 
skin irritations.

Finally, a non-Hallicrafters item. I recently acquired an old Allied/Knight 
receiver and am desperately in search of information on it. From the looks of 
its handsome Art Deco wood cabinet it was built in the latter 1930's - maybe 
1937-38. It has 6 tubes plus an electric eye tuner and tunes the AM broadcast 
band plus 2 short wave bands: 1.55-6.00 MHz and 5.70-17.00 MHz. I would 
appreciate hearing by email from anyone who has any information about this old brand 
and will send photos and chassis layouts to anyone willing to help. I plan on 
restoring the old rig but need schematics and alignment information.

Thanks for any help
