[Hallicrafters] WTB Hallicrafters Knobs: Volume and bfo for SX43

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

Let me remind you that you can post your needed items, parts wanted, 
equipment desired, gear forsale etc. on the HHI web site in the 
"Forsale-Swap" area.

There is no charge for doing this!

All posts "must" be for vintage equipment! It does not have to be 
Hallicrafters, but vintage. The manager of that area will not post it if it 
is otherwise!

You can find the HHI - Halligan's Hallicrafters International web site at:

www.w9wze.net

Happy holidays and vintage stuff hunting!
