[Hallicrafters] Early ad for S-76 with different panel style

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Wow, I'll bet  THAT's a rare bird.

Chuck Dachis doesn't even mention it in his book

The earliest one I've ever seen was like the one in the following year 1952 
Allied catalog with the more common BIG S meter but plain knobs.  The later 
ones had the metal skirted small knobs and the ringed tuning/bandspread 
knobs.

Just for info, I have access to a silk-screen for the early ones (Not the 
1951 catalog version though.)

73, Charlie k3ICH
