Hey fellas,<\/b><\/div>\n
Hope this finds you well. Spent the day with my family at a zoo. They have a neat African exhibit that includes many small huts for shade and to give the feel of the African bush. Each was outfitted with items kne would expect to find in a distant bush camp… Gear, etc. Many had semi modern radio receivers. <\/b><\/div>\n
But one… One had a well worn and rusting Hallicrafters S38E. The rig y’all love to hate… Lol. It is secured to the shelf and as far as I know stays their year round; partially open to all the wonder weather Michigan can throw at it. <\/b><\/div>\n
I got a kick out of it, thought you may as well. <\/b><\/div>\n
Hope all is well.<\/b><\/div>\n

John: Finally, a good place for these things. Museums. Or Zoos. We should organize a collection campaign, perhaps with free pick-up and tax deductions. <\/b><\/div>\n

Here is a no-kidding story. We had a family reunion last month. I met a cousin I hadn’t seen in 40 years. I had given him an old S38E so he could listen to SW BC. I asked him if he remembered that radio. “Yea, I sure do — It almost electrocuted me!” <\/b><\/div>\n
