[Hallicrafters] Panel Lettering

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

That is actually not correct. I have been in contact with  the new owner of 
NØALO's business (not located in NC) several times, recently  as of a few 
months ago. He stated the following in his first message  to me:
 
>Greg
>I bought out Lynn's stock
>I'm on my way to being  there but not quite
>I've actually discovered a newer better method  available to me locally
>I can take a look at it if you like
>That I  do good work (if I take it on) is assumed by all my customers
>That I do  not charge enough is what I am always told

True, there was a fellow in NC who attempted to get into this line of  work 
but he was slow, unreliable and his work was very poor quality.  He did one 
job for me and after waiting several months to get it back I had  to strip 
it back down and send it to someone else. Perhaps this is the  individual 
you are referring to?
 
Regards, Greg

Actually, the business was bought several years ago by a fellow  here
in NC. Last I'd heard, he was done with it for whatever reasons.  My
last two queries went unanswered. Probably been a year or more.  I'll
be seeing some of guys from his area at Frostfest, will ask them  if
they've heard any more. A lot of good screens involved, along  with
custom paints. If he's not going to proceed, hopefully someone  else
will or has stepped in.

The thing to keep in mind with  screening a textured surface is that it
will seldom appear as sharp as a  smooth panel surface. 'Bleeding' to
some extent takes place, giving the  lettering a slightly thicker or
fuzzy look on close inspection. Nothing  unusual, though some folks
getting panels re-screened in recent years  expected a level of
perfection that never existed on the original  equipment.
