Default Thoughts on the Hallicrafters S-120

Actually, I don't have any...but I'm looking for some. I saw one today at a
flea market for $20. It appeared to my casual glance to be in pretty good
shape. The seller told me that the only problem with it was the power cord;
it was missing when he acquired the radio, and so the one on it now is a
half-assed temporary sort of fix. I should have bought it -- but not being a
collector, having a suspicious nature, and knowing pretty much zero about
radio tubes and the devices they sit in all added up to me passing on it and
spending my money elsewhere. Of course, now I expect all sorts of verbal
abuse and I probably deserve it. Anyway, I'd like to hear what the veterans
in these parts think of that radio as far as performance, etc. goes. Is it
worth having, as a casual SW listener? I imagine that a collector of boat
anchors (albeit small ones) might want it, but would I? I've got a modern
portable, a Grundig S350 that I never tote Would the S-120 have done things
that the Grundig won't? Besides getting me into the illustrious ranks of the
non-toters, that is. Thanks in advance.
