[Hallicrafters] Re HT-30 Hard To Find?

[David L. Thompson]

Sorry about the numbering.  Originally Hallicrafters called the amp the
HT-40 but sold it as the HT-31.  This from a QST blurb on announcing the
HT-30, the SX-100 (as an improved SX-96), and the amp along with the console
incorporating all three.  By the end of 1955 the amp showed as the HT-31.
The console was labeled the SR-500 but from all the research done by myself
and others its possible only a few were made and perhaps 3 or 4 sold. This
about a decade before the SR-500 transceiver.
