[Park] Special announcement

21st Century Hallicrafters Reproduction Announced!

The phenomenal resurgence of interest in Hallicrafters products sparked an 
idea in one of the grandson's mind. He set to work over a year ago on a 
project to recreate an exact reproduction of the most rare and sought after 
Hallicrafters item. The Hallicrafters SX-88 receiver.

This is an exact component for component copy of the original receiver 
introduced in 1954. This 20 tube, six band, dual conversion masterpiece is 
called the SX-88K. The 'K' representing the year 2000.

It covers 535 Khz - 33 Mhz with that smooth as silk mechanical flywheel 
tuning. The selectivity of 250 Hz to 10 KHz in six steps is incredible. It 
hears what other receivers only have ghost images of! Where else can you 
find a 10 watt audio amplifier, delayed AGC, locking tuning dial and exalted 
BFO in the 1950's?

Because the reproduction of this most classic Hallicrafters receiver will 
generate hitherto unimagined demand, many who wish to own this reproduction 
will be left with cash in hand and heartbroken. Wrong!

Because the grandson is determined to make it available to the common 
Hallicrafters devotee, not just the ones with Gold lined wallets, production 
will continue until the demand ceases. To insure that those who want one can 
afford it, the price will be actual production cost plus 7%! The actual 
price to be announced on October 31, 2000. The first units should ship on, 
or about, February 2, 2001.

Because the grandson has a passionate love for Hallicrafters, rivaled only 
by his hate for EBAY, all purchasers of the SX-88K will be required to sign 
a declaration stating that the receiver can never be sold on any electronic 
auction ever for any reason whatsoever. If this agreement is breached, the 
seller is subject to repay the manufacturer, or the manufacturers agent, a 
sum equal to fifty times the original purchase price of the receiver.

If you are interested in owning one of these classic reproductions, please 
contact Amiel Spoofenstat in Hilversum, Holland at: 001-31-35-672-4422. Be 
sure to ask for his personal Secretary, Sloof Lirpa.
