[Hallicrafters] Protecting your rig

[Jim Tripp]

It that is the same cushioned antiskid stuff they use on camper shelves then
you can also buy a large roll of it at Costco if there is one near you.  I
think it is only something like $9.99 (why don't they just say $10...hahah)
for a roll 24" wide by 20 feet long.  A great price compared to camper
supply stores.

When you talked about protecting your rig I thought you were going to talk
about protecting yourself while working on transformer less radios...hahaha.

Good point on the padding....I will add that to my bench.

Subject: [Hallicrafters] Protecting your rig

Just a note to tell everyone about a product I have been using for the past
few years on the refurbishment workbench.  I use it to protect the finish on
radios and also to provide a slight impact cushion.  

It is: The stuff that Sears sells for inside tool box drawers to cushion
your tools.  It is about 1/16" thick and comes in precut sizes and even in
6' rolls.  It is soft and provides a barrier between your project and the
bench.  I have been using this stuff for some time and it is great when
rotating a rig or turning it upside down.  It protects the paint and when it
gets melted or torn, just throw it away.
