interested in everyones opinion of what might be considered the overall

'rarest', or the model that commands the highest prices these days... I mean

which one is considered the all time best Hammarlund *receiver* made.

For some reason I have an affinity for Hammarlund. Maybe it's because it was

the first honest to god SW GC receiver I owned (which might also explain why

I'm partial to the HQ-180... I now have two of em).  But I see the SP-600

seems to be a favorite as well. Or is there another 'sleeper' that doesn't

seem to get the respect it deserves.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks & 73

I really like the HQ-150 and the excellent audio. But, the SP-600 gets my 
vote for the best that Hammarlund built IMHO.

Never cared for the HQ-180 series..never had one that wasn't a drifter.

Of course, I might be biased...........:-)
