Default Hammarlund SP-210 ?

I ended up with this & it's separate power supply in a package deal,
couldn't buy what I wanted without taking it. It looks better than
average but doesn't have the original S-meter. Both are rack mount
units in cases with a heavy interconnecting cable, and they are heavy!
It covers 1.25 to 40 Mc in 5 bands. Both units have aluminum tags with
serial numbers and the Rx is stamped Type O with a 40,000 serial.
I've heard that they have terrific audio but with only a portion of BCB
it's a bummer.
I'd like to know a bit more about it and if they have any value as
collectors items or are they true boat anchors? Is it a BC-794 A or B
or a SP-210-SX or what? Why did they make the power supply so heavy?
Thanks
