[Hallicrafters] What would you do?

[Jerome Humphrey]

Hello Group,

New kid on the block. Probably answer many times before, *but* here is my
question to people who know. If you just got a HT-32, open lid and inside
it says or stamped Mark 1. What is the correct way to start to restore it,
if it was up to you.  I know there are many recipes to make the same soup,
would like to find one I could do. I do have manual and order another. Why
is there so much controversy about Mark 1 ? ..tks. minerhump
