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

[Bill Gerhold]

I have digital images of those labels.  I will forward them to you
shortly.

Like you, I have digitally refreshed these brown labels to make them
clearer
and brighter.

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
