How about that dial non-resolution and the no-bandspread tuning?
( i.e. like a 4-bander 2-dial set but without any bandspread tuning )
When i read the old R E Goodheart ads talking about their modified
ARR-7 as an ideal SSB receiver, i have to think about how much 
real fun it would be tune tune in SSB on say, 15 meters.  -Hue
