[Hallicrafters] Powder Coating

[Jim Wilhite]

There is a place near me that does powder coating and I 
stopped in to ask about the service.  Turns out they stock 
certain colors and the price if very reasonable if you use 
the stock colors.

However, if you choose something they do not stock, you pay 
for what is ordered, no matter how little of it they use. 
The place in next door to a powder coat manufactuer and they 
just have to walk in to get the new stuff.  Prices varied a 
bit depending on the color, but as I recall, it was 
expensive.  Say for an HT 44 the amount they had to buy 
would have been about 600 dollars.

The one near you may stock a color that is a match for what 
you need, but I would ask what the charge is should they 
order the tint you need.
