Hi,
I've fixed one Hallicrafters radio or two but never seen this one. Nice toy anyway, good luck :wink:

I understand you Bobby, I had a French Navy 1940-50's AME-7G RX when I was 20. As it was 32"wide for 140lbs I had to sell (or rather give it) when I moved into a small room in Paris and I still regret it :cry:
