[Boatanchors] The ultimate boatanchors?

[WF2U]

Mike,

The MacKay 3020 and the Debeg 2000 are nice receivers but they're not
boatanchors... As sand-state radios they may be called yacht-anchors at best
<g>...

Personally I only collect the real "hollow-state" boatanchors. I've been
trying to find a MacKay 3010 for years - it's the tube model before the
3020.
