I have four receivers that someone is going to have to pry from my cold dead
hands :-)

1.  SP-600-JX-17.  Bandcruising par excellence, and great to look at.
2.  SX-115.  SO much better than than virtually everything else of its era,
Collins or not.  Also great to look at.
3.  Collins R-390 (non "A").  Restored to "as new" from the ground up.  Not
your typical wrist-cramp radio.  Homely, by definition.  Better than the
390A.
4.  Drake 1-A.  The bleeding edge of SSB radios -- and one that plays great,
too.  Truly unique.

All for different reasons.  All wonderful radios.
