Saturday, December 21, 2002, I walked into a wonderland of
old radios, old radio shop, parts bins and shelving units and of course, the focus of my trip, the teletype equipment!
Hal, k9kkd, a 74 year old gentleman from Decatur, Indiana who stands eye-to-eye
with my 6'2" frame has the love and care in his talk and his fingers of old glowbug equipment. From the warm glow of
the SX-28 to the clatter of the Model 19 machine, from the reperforator to the tape printer clucking away, from my roaming
up and down the aisles between the neat shelving units "plum full" of tubes and every imaginable part to standing in front
of his old metal turning lathe that he just keeps around to turn something down every now and then...I was in glowbug paradise.
These pictures are just a few of the ones
showing the man and his work.
Enjoy!
