[Hammarlund] At the risk of...

[John E.]

Hi Mike and all, Wonder if it may just be the in famous HQ-160!
As to why - Could be the lack of or the advantage of no clock it gives
the HQ-160 a ambiance of symmetrical knob location.
The definition of "best" could be performance / aesthetics / enduring.
The 
HQ-160 probably would position it as the "Best" They all perform 
about the same (look out).
The enduring longevity of replacement parts (clocks are almost non -
existent )
You can find most everything else.
  BUT it just looks good.
So it must be the HQ-160! hi hi!!
Have fun de John K�CQW
