[Hallicrafters] Reproduction

[Carl]

Metal work Im good at, audio aint my strong suit! Bending up some 20 gauge 
mild steel is simple as Ive the shear, brake, and other necessary tools. 
Even a English wheel and planishing hammers if I want to get fancy (;

It was just a thought as Ive no plans to get any crazier around here than I 
already am.
