Right!

In a similar vein, has anyone looked at the SX-28A currently
on Ebay, auction 130129662799, which has a copper face? It sure
looks attractive.

The puzzling thing to me about the description is that the
owner spent many hours on an apparently excellent restoration,
yet says he has no equipment to do an alignment.

Personally, the most satisfying part of refurbishing these old
receivers is doing the alignment! I can't imagine going so
far with this and not having the gear to do it.
