What is BEST all-tube, general coverage receiver under $1000? Under $2000?
Actually the Collins designed R-388/51J series of receivers was a
predecessor design to the Collins designed R390A. See: http://www.r-390a.net/ I had a 51J-3 & sold it because it was not in the same league as my R390A. IMHO, my HRO's, Hammarlund Super Pro & Drakes all outperformed the 51J by considerable margins. The 51J is a good looking radio though. But IMO the performance doesn't live up to the looks & the mistique. After all this, I have to vote for the R-388 / 51J. No product detector, but a really nice radio With a real radio dial Take care, Dale |
