[Hallicrafters] Information help please

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello Ted,

I just copied your request to Chuck Dachis, AKA "The Hallicrafter 
Collector", author of "Radios By Hallicrafters". Hopefully he will have some 
information on this equipment.

I did check the book mentioned above using the designation you provided and 
found no matches.

I will post here whatever I hear from Chuck.

Good luck with your project.

I too am a Michigan resident -
