[Boatanchors] What VLF/LF Boatanchors are "affordable"

[Philip Atchley]

Hello,

Now that I've got "most" of the goals I set for my "keeper station" in 
place (except for a "modern" digital receiver) further down the road I'm 
considering adding a VLF/LF BOATANCHOR to the modest collection (future 
expectations). I'm trying to "plan ahead".

I'm aware of the Collins R-389 and the Hammarlund SP-600VLF.  However, 
being relatively rare they are both VERY expensive and will remain out 
of my reach indefinitely!

What are some other makes/models that I should consider, and which won't 
  break the bank (always an important consideration here)?
