What I find saddest is that I can't fire up my S-40 and swing down into the
broadcast band to catch a Jack Benny program or an next episode of "The
Green Hornet"...

So I passed it onto a younger fellow who doesn't remember those programs.

Old gear is about ... well ... old gear, and love for it. It has nothing to
do with specs. Restoration is literally an act of love ... at my age you'll
go for anything you can get ;-). Would I rather SWL with a K3 or an SX-28?
K3 loses period. 

I have yet to hear anything (at least ssb, cw) on my K3 that I can't copy
with an NC-303 with a bit of effort, and copy, with smoother and more
pleasing audio (than the K3 frankly) on an SX-115. Not that I'd part with my
K3 ...  OR the SX-115 ... 

I'm waiting for the K3PP6V6 audio output option. ;-)
