Hi Pete, no experience here with the BC-610. But I would ask why
[other than stock audio] you think a 610 is better than a T368?
Yes, the GPT-750 is a winner indeed. No, not just price, but it is a
good guideline. The 5100s were only outpriced by the 32V Collins. Well,
not sure about the Central Electronics 100V.
I just want to make it clear that this is fun discussion, not an
arguement as to who is right. This is classic stuff like the old cars.
Thety all have their good and bad points.
Now, here's an interesting point- which older rig would be easiest to
renovate- repair- and get running again properly.
I would narrow this down to 2 or 3 rigs- say- DX-100, Viking II,
and maybe a Globe? Here we go again! Russ.

Russ:
Since Caddy's and Lincoln's are pricey and if we're only using price as a
gauge, I would probably have to say the KW-1. But price doesn't always
make it the best. In my opinion the best all around manufactured AM rig
has to be the BC-610 series, followed by the T368. Now if you're talking
AM/CW/SSB rigs, the KWS-1 and the TMC GPT-750 are high on my list.
