Heathkit...

Hi All...

For my money, the performance & value of the Heathkit SB-301 receiver just CAN'T be beat...

For a rig of its era, it REALLY "...holds its own": it's super-stable, sensitive, has great selectivity (with the optional filters), & the dial accuracy for an analog set is great---overall, it needs few (if ANY)  apologies when compared to many moden "state-of-the-art" receivers, I think...and the darn thing STILL looks sexy sitting in the shack...!

Perhaps one of the nicest things about it, though, is the fact that you can start to execute "...major surgery" on its innards in the morning, & have it all back together again & listening to DX before evening! 

Perhaps this fact, alone, is worth the modest price of admission...? 

Anyway...my two cents worth....
