[Hallicrafters] caps

[Paul Kraemer]

Absolutely
Take a fine classic vehicle and drop a big block Chevy into it. No 
difference
Destroy the collectable value
It's your property
Have no regard for the art of presevation
If you want really high performance---buy a rice box
Just my sentiments and I expect at least a few others.
