That's certainly true, but IMHO it's beside the point.  The SX-28 is ---
well --- an SX-28.  It is what it is -- a georgeous thing, wonderful to
listen to, that oozes a level of "romance" that very few, if any, radios
since have managed to capture. 

I have one -- still in the restoration queue -- but when I finish it, I plan
to enjoy the h*ll out of it :-)
