Just curious to hear about shortwave receivers that people have owned that
are their longest-operating receivers. How long did they last, and are you
still using them? Did they require major overhaul at any point during their
long lives?

I'm still using my grandfather's Hammarlund Super-Pro. (BC-794) At
least 50 years old.

It's been retubed over the years. Aligned every 5, and will be
recapped this spring.


My R8B has been on continuously since I bought it over 7 years ago.
