[Hallicrafters] Can't keep it to myself

[Roger K8RI]

Just be careful these are not the contstant voltage transformers.
Although "boat anchors" should run just fine off them, they have a wave form 
that resembles a buzz saw.

I have a Sola that is capable of running my whole station, but I sure 
wouldn't want to hook any of my solid state stuff to it. <:-))
