[Hallicrafters] HT-32 and HT-37 Transformers

[rbethman]

There has been a lot of discussion of this one particular transformer.

First: Were all made by the same manufacturer?

Second: Which of those used by Hallicrafters are the ones with the issue?

Third:  How many of each transmitter were produced?

I ask this to get a far better picture of the failure rate!

I propose that these were made by different manufacturers, and NOT by 
Hallicrafters.

Many Hallicrafters produced transformers have the Halli Logo stamped in 
their end bells.

In the instance of SX-99s, I have seen black end bells and I have seen 
chrome plated end bells.

It makes no sense whatsoever to chrome plate end bells due to extra cost 
- UNLESS - they were obtained from a vendor that got a contract with a 
lower price per unit.

What say y'all?
