The major manufacturers in the early 60's were Hallicrafters, National,
Hammurland, and Collins.  As I recall, the SX100 (general coverage) and
SX101A were the Hallicrafters models, the Nc300 and then NC303 were  the
National models, the Hammurland HQ160 (general coverage) and HQ170 were the
Hammurland models, and the Collins 75A4 was the Collins model .  A couple
of others whose makers I have forgotten were the GPR90 and the RME4300.
