lets use a Drake collector as an example, he would say that a 1A is
truly a collectible, the MSR-1 is truly a collectible. the SW-4 is very
collectible. but even though he might have an R8 in his collection, I
sure hope he won't call it collectible !!!

all I am asking is to give respect where it is due and do not insult
true collectible radios by calling mass produced radios "collectible"

to put a Regency TR-1 in the same category as an FRG-XXXX receiver is
an insult to the TR-1
