The "Hallicrafter's" is a popular American brand of radio or
wireless, both available in receivers and transmitters. As far as I can
determine the company operated from the early 1930s until about 1974.

This old type of large metal radio which often has valves/tubes in them are
generically known these days as "Boat Anchors". Try searching for
radios and boatanchors on the net, you will get the general picture.

The parts can be heavy.
