Hi gang. I have a large (and growing) receiver collection. Tube types are my favorite......
A few radios that were may or may not have mentioned: (tube type)
- RME 4550A or newer RME 6900
- Collins R-388
- Drake 2B/2BQ
- Drake 2C/2CQ
I have the above plus a SX-117 which received the ER Mods. It is awesome.
Back a few years ago, I was refurbing radios for $. One radio that flat amazed me were the R-388/51J-3 models.
I had a 1/2 dozen or so and they all had excellent sensitivity right up through 10M.
If you wish, you can add a small SSB adaptor, if you want to add that capacity. My 51J-3 has NO funky paper caps. I was surprised to find all original 'dogbone' types that were perfect.
BTW, I have 5 HA-350s. A true illness, I admit.
Also, 3 R-4Bs and one R-4C. I'll take the R-4Bs any day. I have all the Sherwood Mods for the C but not yet installed them. Only been 10 years or so.... ha ha

The Hallicrafters SX-115 has always been popular or even the smaller
SX-117.
