[Hallicrafters] HT-37 project

[Carl]

At hamfests in this area or Craigslist they often go begging at $125 in nice 
cosmetics as there were so many sold and they havent really got into the 
collectors radar yet. HT32's of all models are about the same price.

I had one in 63-65 and liked it but then got a good deal on a CE 100V. I did 
pick up a VFO and SB generator from a parted out one with the idea to build 
a phasing rig.
