[Hallicrafters] Restoration of Front Panels

[Greg Mijal]

Hi Roger:

>From time to time folks will start up a silk screening rig for specific 
radios.  You send them your front panel and they strip it then re-paint then 
silk screen on the letters, numbers and logos.  I don't have any contacts to 
pass along to you but have been interested in seeing the finished panels. 
Johnson gear seems to be the most popular project with Hallicrafters running 
second.  I havn't noticed any activity on the reflector for this lately but 
your Email may get replys from people with the jigs ready to go.
