Default R.L. Drake SW-4A, alive and kicking!

I fired up the SW-4A this morning, and I'm monitoring Radio Australia, at 0915
UTC, on 9590khz. I've got it hooked up to the Antenna Supermarket Eavesdropper
SWL Sloper. I'm the original owner, and no I'm sorry, but it's not for sale. I
purchased it in 1975, from Trigger Amateur Electronics, in River Forest,
Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. I've never had to change a tube, or a filter
capacitor, and the crystal controlled direct frequency dialing is still dead-on
accurate.I believe this was the first shortwave receiver to offer the crystal
controlled direct frequency dialing. I'd be interested to know if anyone has
one in their shack, and how it's holding up. Good DXing to you from the Chicago
burbs, Gary
