[Hallicrafters] Repairing Hallicrafters cases

[George KB2Z]

Hello Fred,
Although I have not tried the product you suggested, I have used Auto 
Body Filler. It oozes through the surrounding holes for a permanent 
bond, is easy to sand smooth, easy to drill, and paints like the 
original metal. You can sand the underside to a point where it's 
almost unnoticeable, after drilling. Personally I think a flaw or two 
adds to the character of an old piece of gear, especially if it's a 
user. This ain't no Garden Party, keep the suggestions coming.  Best 
regards, George KB2Z
