You get the biggest rush buying boat anchors that you used to have back in
the day. Why would anyone want to spend a lot of money for a rig that has
no nostalgic value? If you want to buy a HQ-107A, I have a friend in TX
that has one that he bought and is tired of, $300 and it's yours. The real
neat boat anchor receiver is the HRO 60 with its draws for bandswitching.

Oh Yes! I forgot about the SX-101. Wish I still had mine. I can't
speak for the NC183D since I've never owned one, but Bob is right, you
will likely be completely confused as to what to get once this
discussion is over ;)

Hi Everyone,
I am new to boatanchors and need some advice. I am beginning to
collect antique radios. I want suggestions on what my first one should
be. I am living in a duplex so a xmitter is out of the questions, so I
thought I'd get a "nice" receiver to listen on. I would prefer something
that would also receive SSB as this will be my only reciever for a
while, but not at the sacrifice of selectivity on AM. I had a TS-850
that I unfortunately had to sell a few months back for a move for a new
job. It had great receive (and Xmit) on AM, and so I'm wanting something
in that caliber. I've read great things about the HQ-180A but I think
it's only AM and a little out of the price I'm looking for. I'd like to
find soemthing in the $300-350 range. Any suggestions???
