Codefox - I looked up the Kenwood KR6170. Very impressive with three meters and all of those pushbuttons and knobs.
Russ (Phlog) - The Sansui 9090DB is out of my price range. I quickly learned that is THE most respected (and expensive) vintage receiver out there. I have been thinking about a 2000 (not A or X), though - I like how they look.
I'm trying to stop buying receivers for awhile, though. I stopped myself from buying a Fisher 550-T a couple nights ago - I think I have too many now. I'm going to fix up the ones I have and then sell some, keep some. The 600-T and 4400 are definite keepers. I'll probably be keeping the current workbench project, a 700-T, as I will have a lot of $$$ tied up in it when it is finished - it needed, and still needs, a lot of work.
Chuck, how about posting a photo of your Heathkit? You too, Codefox, of your Kenwood; and Phlog, of your 9090DB?
