[Hallicrafters] Color Codes

[W8BVH]

Hello Dave:
I bought a program fro Steve ..... at steveo at electronicsgenius.com. The 
program identifies all sorts of older components, some of which you mention.
Hope it works for you as it does for me. I told him that you may be writing 
to him in the near future.
