[Hallicrafters] Panel Lettering

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

According to him and several on here who had dealings with him, he was
the one who bought out N0ALO and it seems like Lynn confirmed this at
some point by messages to the lists for folks to stop contacting him.
He sold out several years ago, it seems odd that someone would have
bought out his business and sat on it for some of the few remaining
prime years. Perhaps this unnamed person bought the stock from the
fellow here in NC?

Whatever the path, I hope at least the screens see daylight at some
point. No need to re-invent the wheel, and the likelihood of anyone
recreating all those screens at this late stage would be slim, at
best.
