[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[w7fe]

Whoa!  That added criterion -- "1 KHz read-out" -- narrows the field a bit. 
I think you'd be happiest with a 75A-2.  Solid Collins mechanical design 
(including the 1 KC dial graduations) excellent stability and wonderful for 
AM and CW.  It can be had for considerably less than the 75A-3 or 75A-4, 
neither of which sound as nice on AM even with their 6KC mechanical filters 
(IMHO).

Stu,  W7FE
