[Hallicrafters] HT-37 Weird Find In Cabinet

[Tom NØJMY]

This isn't weird or anything, but it was interesting to me.  In the back 
of a 1938 Stromberg-Carlson console that I purchased at an auction I 
found a tattered, crispy, faded, yellowed piece of paper, barely held on 
to the cabinet by a piece of Scotch tape that had turned brown.

Almost unreadable was the faded-to-brown writing, apparently from a 
fountain pen, in a masculine-looking cursive:

"Conelrad 1240 Kills".

Somebody must have took that stuff pretty seriously to haul the old girl 
away from the wall and stick that note back there.  She would have been 
a dozen or more years old, I believe.

I know.  A waste of bandwidth.  You had to be there.

73,
Tom NØJMY.  .
