They are very good, *except* their mechanical instability is horrible. I
could never use a key or bug on the same table with the receiver. Mine was
new.


I bought a brand new one in 1957. Couldn't wait to get it home and
listen to some SSB transmissions. I set it on our bed and plugged it
in. Just touching the bed sent it warbling all over the place. About
the least stable receiver I ever owned.
