the receiver in the Trio 830S 
 
(pace that the EA12 preceded WARC 83 by nearly 20 years and lacks the new

 With amplitude modulation, I don't think it really mattered much, especially on CW.
The only experience I had with the older tube type stuff was with the Collins, Hammurlund, Viking Valiant, Drake.
My money would be put on a Drake 3C........
