[Hallicrafters] RE: old stock

[Ken Kaplan]

I've heard that resistance is futile so I'm going to remove all of my resistors. Maybe I 
should change them to condensers to increase the capacity of my radios. That would 
surely increase the value of my SX-28A. Wouldn't it be funny if we found out that a 
chemical in the paint they used back then caused the resistance change?

Think I need some rest,
