I started listening to SW on a 1930's Pilot
Radio -- the T-133 with the big wood grille
on the front. When I was 10 I used to listen
for hours upon hours, with my ear glued right
to that grille....but my first listening sessions
I spent looking at the wonderful old dial scale
with the old city names on it.

I too obtained an excellent condition R7000-2
a few years ago and use it from time to time.
And I have three HQ-180s and an Eddystone
downstairs.

Long live the memories!
