[Hallicrafters] HT-37 Weird Find In Cabinet

[rev. don]

A friend, an extra class ham, bought a couple pieces of old luggage and
what looked like some old tools in 3 cardboard boxes at an antique auction
for $100 because he figured he could sell the old tools. No one else bid
on the boxes. When he emptied the suitcases and boxes he found a 32S1,
516-F2, 51J4, KWM-2A and 30L1 in the boxes under the junque.
Worst part is he does not know how to set them up and operate tube 
equipment.
But he won't sell them either.
