[Hallicrafters] Why I'm a Hallicrafters Guy

[Jim Tripp]

For me it is because my first receiver as a new ham was an S-38 that I
bought used at Henry Radio in Anaheim, CA.....so I will always be a
Hallicrafters man.  BTW, I am new to the list, do you allow "mention" of the
Echophones that were built by Hallicrafters?

Because when I was little, my dad used to let me stay up on Saturday 
night and listen to "Judy Canova" on his S-40A.

I never wanted anything else, though I bought a Ranger when I wasn't 
finding the Hallicrafters I wanted.

As to the "not the best engineered", neither are Fords, but even though 
I haven't had a Ford since about '67, I'll always be a Ford guy in my 
heart.  That's the way I was raised.

That said, affordability may have something to do with the fact that I 
don't have any Collins or a Johnson 500.
