What Companion Receiver to CE 20A?

[WF2U]

I got a CE-20A and the matching CE factory BC-458 conversion VFO fairly
recently. I'm matching it up with the Drake 2-B/2-BQ receiver. It'll make a
nice, compact, low-power vintage SSB/CW station, with an excellent receiver
which will come in handy when using a relatively low power transmitter.

Someone mentioned a Collins 75A* series receivers - well, the Drake 2-B
outperforms the famous 75A4. True, the construction is not as robust and
impressive as the Collins stuff, but the performance is!

I usually go over QST issues of the approximate vintage of the equipment I'm
setting up, and there'd be plenty of photos there depicting typical stations
of that vintage.
