collins hf 2050 receiver

[radioactive]

well here goes my first post on the new site and was wondering if anyone here has had a chance to play with one of these radios.i've searched the internet and found lots of specs etc but not really too much on how the radio performs.if all goes well i will be coming into one within the next month.i hear the audio quality is great and they have issues with overheating but thats about it .so if anyone has any input that would be nice.

i've always wanted a collins but more along the lines of a r390a but when this radio came up i couldnt resist.for those that dont know the radio here is a picture of what one looks like.
