[Hallicrafters] Gloat Time

[Carl]

Or one of the long missing Barris customs or Oakland Roadster Show winners 
of the 50's and 60's.

I just hope that the new owner of the SX-42 doesnt continue to run it until 
the audio and power transformers do their well known meltdowns from 
capacitor leakage.
Time has not been kind to them.
