If I had enough space, I would love to have the following heavy-metal USN receiver sets:

1.  RAK, RAL
2.  RBA, RBB, RBC
3.  AN/SRR-11, -12, -13A

I'd want sets 1 and 2 especially.  But of the eight receivers above, the only one I have is the AN/SRR-13A that I got from Navy MARS 46 years ago.  

I do have what is likely the best of the USN all-tube VLF/LF/MF receivers...the AN/WRR-3B.

It's regretable how little there is to listen to below 30 MHz today, with no merchant marine Morse traffic nor even respectable shortwave broadcasting any longer.  I miss the 410 to 535 kHz MF merchant marine Morse band most of all.
