Agree, Richard.  I was just listening to my AR-8506-B tonight and was 
thinking it was quite similar to the Boulevard in frequency coverage and 
overall design.  Actually the Boulevard has a little more bandspread in 
the tuning mechanism ratio, but the RCA tunes very nicely on AM, and as 
you say is a quiet receiver.  I'll give the RCA the edge in construction 
quality, but then it wasn't a $60 kit, either.
