[Hallicrafters] Re:Parted out Radios

[Bill Krause]

Philosophically I strongly agree that a good boat anchor shouldn't be 
parted out just for profit just as we shouldn't profit of the selling 
off of antiquities BUT in a capitalistic society people are pretty much 
free to do whatever they want with their property and we nash out teeth 
all we want about it but I suspect we aren't going to change very many 
minds. I also confess to being thankful for the ability to keep my 
collection of boat anchors alive and in working order. So does anybody 
have a meter for an SX-28 for sale (seriously).
