[Hallicrafters] Heinlein was a Halli Man

[Robert Nickels]

Browsing the wikipedia entry on one of the greatest Sci-Fi writers of 
all time, Robert A Heinlein, I spotted an interesting picture.  It's 
from a June 1952 article in Popular Mechanics titled "A House to Make 
Life Easy", and shows Robert at the controls of the home music system, 
adjusting a PA amplifier being fed by a Hallicrafters S-38A (or B).  
Heinlein and his wife Virginia, both engineers, designed the house in 
Colorado Springs themselves.  Many of the ideas sound pretty good even 
today!

Take a look at the radio:
