[Hallicrafters] R46-B speaker cloth + SX-101 paper stickers

[Peter May]

Thanks for the suggestion on the fabric spray guys, I'll try to get some at
an auto store this weekend.
Is there anyone out there that has good digital images of the Hallicrafter's
paper stickers for the rear of an SX-101 receiver?
I want to try to reproduce some. My originals have gone brown with age and
disintegrated, same goes for the sticker inside the R46-B.
It says something about the Australian climate and why Aussies look 10 to 15
years older than the rest of you.


Regards
Peter
