I went to a "Ham-Fest" in Knoxville about 15-20 yrs ago. It was in June in a STIFLING high-school gym, & about all that was there were computer geeks, & 440 MhZ stuff- Those little things you can put in a shirt pocket. Precious little "Real" radio stuff, but one guy had a rather forlorn lookin' Hallicrafters of some type that he was touting as being "Bill Halligan's PERSONAL set..." Oh, & some guy had raided a "Hidey-Hole" at UT or Oak Ridge, & loaded up all the junky 5 MhZ toob-type scopes he could put in his pickem-up..You MIGHT have managed to make a couple of half-way decent scopes out of the whole mess, if you were lucky..
