[Hallicrafters] The Halli Transistor Sistor

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All,

Do any of you remember the song "Transistor Sistor" or who sang it? I'll 
give you a little hint, somebody tagged the vocalist with a middle name of 
"Cannon".

What was the first piece of Hallicrafters equipment to use a transistor? 
What year did it make its debut on the electronics market?

Now we all know that Bell Labs invented the transistor, right? Texas 
Instruments Inc. invented the Integrated Circuit, right? Well who invented 
the first high frequency vacuum tube that worked in the 5MC to 10 MC range? 
Does "Acorn" awaken a snoring neuron?

Thanks.
