[Hallicrafters] Ridiculous warning

[Ron]

I have to agree with you on this one Duane.  I saw my cousin go into an 
attack from looking at a bunch of books that had mildew on them. She new 
she had a small problem with it but this was the worse it every was.  I 
live in AZ where mildew is not a big problem also no basements to store 
stuff in anyway but I always ask the buyer when I buy something from 
mildew country if it has any mildew on it.
