Hey, your list ain't half bad either!!
There really aren't that many left that I'm looking for.
I'd love that Drake R-8 and the iCom r-71A. Along with my Kenwood R-5000, that'd make a hella nice trio of SS gear.
I'm probably going to drop the Halli S-20R, SX-62A, and SX-110, keep the SX-100, and look for an SX-42 and SX-28. Of course, I'd love an SX-88, like that's gonna happen.
I really, really want a nice NC-183D!! I have a speaker for my NC-46, btw.
[Edit: ooh, those RCA's are nice, too!]

thanks for the comments.i really like the vintage tube gear but feel the s/s stuff adds a nice touch also especially when it comes to determining what frequency your on .the drake 2b is pretty accurate for a analog receiver and i can alternate crystals for the different bands using the alternate sockets.the r8 has good audio but its still not as good as the nc183d in my mind.i'd love to get another sx62a as it was my first receiver that i bought in my journey into the s/w world. i tmay not be the most sensitive receiver out there but the push pull audio stage makes it one of the best sounding receivers ive ever heard .if and when you decide to sell it i'd appreciate a pm as id love to own one again .
i had about 3 sx100's in my time loved them but they sure ran hot.i remember one night i left one on and woke up to a strange smell.it turned out to be a burnt up power transformer.as for a sx 28 or 42 id love to have one also.i know a guy local to me that has a museum quality sx28 but he'll never part with it
. the rca's i have are nice and also have great audio but i'd like to trade one for the ar 88 or sc88 which had the broadcast band as the ar88lf and cr91 didnt have it. the frg7 along with the kenwood 5000 have always been on my short list of receivers i'd like to try someday.

I use the Sony 2010 but my Heathkit Mohican is a lot more fun.

never had a mohican but did own the bigger brother to it the mohawk, great receiver.
