Gang,

I'm looking for solid background info on subject radio for the Radio 
Technology Museum Short-wave Display.  Hallicrafters introduced this 
radion in 1940, and it was advertised throughout WWII.  Go here to get 
the general picture:  http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~postr/bapix/Echo.html

Now, it's my impression that civilian radio production was pretty much 
curtailed during this period.  I'm trying to figure out what really went 
on here.  Were these sold on the open market, in the PX, or what?

Also, can someone get me a high-res scan of the the particular Hogarth 
ad shown on the referenced website.  I have some of the Echophone ads in 
vintage Radio News, but I like this one best.

Thanks,
Al
