Didn't you buy one of my SP-200s years ago at Hopkinton, John? They
used to just appear in my garage in multiples back before I wasn't
interested in them. Couldn't get rid of them fast enough!

You'd like the 400 as it's basically the final refinement of the 200
series. The most noticeable improvement being the BCB-30mc coverage.
The original streamline chickenhead knobs and smallish tuning knobs
ala HQ-129X look better than they feel. Maybe it was Hammarlund's way
of saying 'Listen More, Twiddle Less'.
