The 303 is one of my personal favorites. Like most of the radios that have been discussed, it lacks a bit in the fidelity department, but it isn't bad (certainly not as bad as a 51J-4 or that ilk).  Although like anything else, it's easy enough to tap the detector output and feed a decent audio system.

Still, it has the smooth and wrist saving tuning "feel" of the SP-600, no stinkin' mechanical filters, and although you can't read the dial to +-200Hz, it's close enough.  IF opens up to 8 Khz, plays quite well on AM (and CW/SSB), and is easy to service.
