The NC2-40-D is a good looking set, but then again, the dreaded NC183D is a
real looker, what with the blacked out glass and that wicked S meter.

No argument here. And how come nobody's suggested the HRO-60? Remember, we're
talking APPEARANCE, not functionality. The HROs were a pain to read frequency
off the dial, but oh, the feel of that dial...

I've got a couple of other nominations, if the jury permits:

1) RME 4300/4300A (which in a way resembles a modern NC-2-40D, or at least the
big semicircular dial does).

2) RME 6900, with a front panel laid out so the dial and every control are in
perfect harmony and proportion. Sort of a feng shui receiver.

3) For all you SX-101 lovers, who simply love that humongous dial, I vote for
most of the Eddystones of the '50s & '60s. They not only had the same huge dial
scale, but also a tuning mechanism that was beyond smoooooth and like the RME
6900, a beautifully designed front panel layout.

How come nobody's mentioned the Collins S Line? Simple, elegant, luxurious
touches like the pebbled overlay.

Fun!
