[Hallicrafters] SX-100 panel - New repro

[DW Holtmnan]

Hello,

I has some dial glass from Lynn Brock and it was incredible, great work.

There is a guy who is making reproduction SX-100 panels on Epay. He is 
selling them one by one getting every penny he can. Which is his 
business if that is what he chooses to do. Why does he not sell them to 
the Hallicrafters group, or put them on a web page at a flat rate. He 
could still charge a good price (they look like very good work) and make 
in quantity what he is making on single pieces on Epay. I know that a 
LOT of work went into making the artwork, having the machine work done 
etc. and it should not be given away, but one a week tops seems kind of 
weird.

Just my thoughts on how someone else might do business.

Best,
DW Holtman
