[Hallicrafters] Another possible stumper

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

It was not Hallicrafters David. It was Japanese. Hallicrafters died in 1967, 
the name got stuck on all sorts of junk by a wide variety of companies. Look 
from 1972-1975.

Northrup wanted the military contracts, they were never interested in the 
Ham radio part of Hallicrafters. The "only" reason Northrup did not kill the 
products sooner, is because Bill Halligan, Sr. was paid by Northrup to 
remain on one year after the sale! Then Bill left never to return and 
Northrup let all sorts of companies build cheap junk and stick the 
Hallicrafters name on it. But Hallicrafters it was NOT!
