Tnx to all for the many replies (18 so far) .

Nationals (HRO's ,183Ds, 300's & 303's) & Collins (A-2's & A-3's) seem =
to be the favorites of the group. However the HRO's plug-in coils seem =
to be a bigger hassle than I imagined.

Hammarlunds & Hallicrafters seem to be disfavored ("The HQ series and SX =
series tend to warble when bumped, especially on the upper bands. The HQ =
series have mica caps built in the bottom of the coils and they were =
notorious to fail" "Selectivity too tight for melodious AM tones....") =
Drakes were rated good but don't "look the part" & "AM filter is too =
tight".



That leaves the Collins 75A-2 & 75A-3 & the National 183D, NC 300 & =
NC303 & possibly the Racal 17.

Anyone who has any of these units for sale, in good shape, please =
comtact me.

Tnx & 73
