[Hallicrafters] Re HT-30 Hard To Find?

[David L. Thompson]

Duane,

The HT-30 was made from 1954 to late 1956.  SSB was not to popular then so I
suspect not too many were sold.  The matching receiver was the SX-100 which
was produced in quanity.  Even more scarce was the SR-500 console with the
HT-30, SX100, and HT-40 amp. Another problem with the HT-30 was the 20 watts
or so input.  This was enough to drive even the biggest AB1 amp but with
grounded grid you needed more like 100 watts +
