Default Your longest-lasting SW receiver?

Just curious to hear about shortwave receivers that people have owned that
are their longest-operating receivers. How long did they last, and are you
still using them? Did they require major overhaul at any point during their
long lives?

The longest lasting receiver is a National 100ASD that I inherited from
my father.


I thought it was my Halli' S20R, circa 1939. I did more DX'ing with that
radio than any since and I've had a lot of radios since the S20R. I was
really motivated in those days. :-)


Amazing what can be dxed with just the basics... :-)
