[Hallicrafters] Look at this beauty!

[Mike Everette]

So many idiots on eBay think these things are military
radios...  why not do a "Mil-Spec" S-76?

New 19 inch rack type panel, side braces to support
it.
(I have some braces, not sure about a panel but will
look if you are intrigued by the concept.)

You could use the original panel as a template.  It
would not be hard to make.

Paint it black wrinkle.  Don't forget the handles on
the sides of the panel.

Put it in a Mil-style box, maybe an RBK-S36 style
case; or go one better:  an SX-28 cabinet (I have one
less chrome trims and bottom plate if you are
intrigued and want it), also painted black wrinkle.

Replace the "ka-nobs" with the style used on the
Collins R-388.  These have that right "military look."

Letter it with white decals.  Come up with some MIL
nomenclature like "MODEL REZ RADIO RECEIVING
EQUIPMENT" per a Navy radio name plate.

Put it on eBay:  "RARE HALLI MIL RECEIVER! L@@K!" 
With a reserve of at least $600.00.  It'll bring a
grand, or more!  Ga-Ron-Teed!
