[Hallicrafters] Ridiculous warning

[George KB2Z]

I once bought an S-40a at a HamFest that came complete with a nest of 
mice.  Another time I bought an old tube tester online. It had some sort of 
shield shaped bugs that appeared to be feeding on the corroded RED 
Ever-Ready batteries. My least favorite was a computer full of roaches. The 
XYL thinks I'm nutty. I open any thing that gets delivered outside now. I 
never had the onions to tell her why. It would just give her more anti 
radio ammo. Point is with anything you buy your walking a thin line, 
especially with old gold.
