What about the LAST Swan Radio? The R8? I wanted one of those. bad.
Or some of the $$$ from Japan Radio or The 80s and 90s Lowe? And than the UBER expensive ICOM series. I think the CIA use them?
I can't remember which of 'em is designed to be easily field repairable with modular replaceable boards and sort of easy access.
Kenwood even made a pair of communications receivers, The R5000 being the best / last.
My SONY, is fun, and worth as much now as when I bought it nearly 20 years ago, but not on the level of the best from above. The ICF2010 is a classic in its own right.
Your Collins looks like a WATCH made large. I can't imagine the man-hours needed to construct or REPAIR.
come to think of it, I had a HUGE military communications receiver for about 2 months, back in about '71 or '72. You could PRE TUNE the frequency and the station would be THERE when you turned it on and it warmed.
Too much is never enough
