Default what's your best sw receiver?

Carter... Thank you for your reply. I acquired the set in 1961, my father
paid my uncle thirty dollars for it because of my interest. The set might
have had 15 tubes, I remember counting but don't remember the number.

I'm sure the new stuff is much better, just my sentiment talking.... has
to be. It sure was exciting though for a twelve year old kid to turn on
that radio and spend hours listening to stations far and near. That kind
of excitment will color one's memory.

If I had the old set, I would rebuild it. Mine was in perfect shape, had
never been worked on, but begin to lose sensitivity a few years after I
had it. I was the kind of kid that had the RCA tube manuel memorized, so
when real schooling in electronics began, I was ready. By that time
though, the Hallicrafters had left the ranch. Wish I had it now though.
Thanks for the tip and encouragement to look it up on the Internet. I'm
on my way to Google this minute.
