[Hammarlund] Ultimate receiver??

[Bob Young]

Just a few things have Chuck Ripple do a 390A for you and you won't believe how easy they can tune and as far as a SP-600 when they are all recapped and aligned they are right on the money after a warm up at least mine is, I do have a 388 I like though,

However, they both were "drift city" and I got rid of them.  Also had an R-390 that was excellent for fixed frequency use.  However, very hard on the wrist to tune.  Now have both a 51J-2 and an R-388 and both of those work very well.
