Didn't grab the SP-600. Had one years ago Those thing are heavy plus I've got too many anchors. Did get a 75A2 which I was very surprised that it has excellent audio and it came with the 270G speaker/service manual. The PTO needs some work as the endpoints are way off. The 75A2 hangs around with it's friends two R-390A's and a 51J4. A buddy just gave me an All-Star Jr. 1935 kit SW receiver 5 tubes with 2 plugin coils for each band.
Tnx for the encouragement on the HRO! It's an old one that uses standard tubes and round IF cans. Have wanted one for a long time. Hopefully I'll get started on the chassis this week. Needs a good cleaning and maybe some paint. All the paper caps have been replaced years ago. So going to check all the resistors and replace a little bit of wire, the grid leads are cracked up. It too has friends to hang with, a bunch of SW-3's, FB-7,NC-100X, NC-200, NC-173. Gotta luv that black wrinkle!
