Hello Richard.,

  Glad the exchange had good memorys for you, as it had for me.

  Unfortunately, with little cash in those days, and now as medically
retired, and other issues, I never got to see the 303, nor the new
toys of today.

  Aaah the Hammarlunds ...saw and tried a dew of them, and found them
to be in some cases better then the new stuff.   The HW-12 was the main
stay of many rigs for the white caners I helped out.

  I see you have had your share of home disasters. Me too, but not
as much as you, as we dodged a twister, or a few of them, but we
had a house fire caused by a Zenith TV bursting into flames.  Seems
the "bomb goes in before the name goes on" , so no more Zeniths
for our family < 2 bombs later>.

  Take care have to get back to my refridgerator problem, whether
to fix or replace.  After 20 years, I guess better to replace.
