[Hallicrafters] W9NZM Bob Bauman SK

[Carl]

I seem to remember Bob was in his 80's in the 90's when I took most of his 
counter production, he then retired and sold it to someone he had made an 
earlier promise to as I offered to buy it. You sure this isnt his son or did 
Bob pass the century mark??

And what happened to the tooling, etc?
