[Hallicrafters] HT37 paint

[Jim Wilhite]

As an employee of Motorola in the time period Glen references, I saw 
many pieces of equipment that came from Glen's shop.  Its appearance and 
operation was like new and most of the oil companies who liked the 
equipment that Glen sold could not tell the difference.

Glen does now how to clean, refurbish and repair equipment.  Also, he 
was a gentleman who ran a top quality, efficient  operation.
