[Hallicrafters] Re: PK Screws

[Marshall M. Dues]

Oops.

However, I do remember while restoring my first airplane, a 1946 Aeronca 
7AC Champion in the early '70s, of using several boxes of PK screws that 
were labeled with Pique as the manufacturer. Now, this may have been a 
"look and feel" knockoff of the original PK manufacturer back then.  But 
thanks for the update, Jim.

Incidentally, a HALLICRAFTERS model CA-2 aircraft transmitter/receiver 
was what got me started in both amateur radio and a 25 year long career 
as an avionics technician back in the late '50s, as well as becoming a 
private pilot, aircraft owner, and experimental aircraft builder.
