Boatanchors, you say ? VERY addicting hobby... As bad-Or WORSE as anything you'll ever come in contact with... BUT, its also one of the few interests where you can procure yrself examples of an item that was as fine as money can buy. I can want me an 1886 Benz "Patent Motorenwagon", but the real world is, no matter how badly I want one, NO WAY could I ever buy/have one of 'em.. But, finding a good R-390, or 390A is relatively reasonable "Play-Pretty", and they were considered "The Best" when they were in service. .Let's not forget the ones that were/are pretty comparable to the mighty "Collins" sets-EG a RACAL RA-17, National NC-183D, Hallicrafters SX-73, Hammarlund SP-600, Rohde & Schwarz EK-07, etc..
