A couple of weeks ago I finally finished the 42-355 that was on my bench. It is a nice radio! Clearly the best audio of any of the slant-fronts I've heard. Much better than the 42-350, though I listen to that one a lot, too.

I get good sensitivity on the AM and SW bands, and on the old FM band I even pick up a station or two from the modern FM band. So far, I haven't heard any RFI on it, either

Since I set up my SSTRAN a couple of months ago, I can listen to anything I want to on the AM band, so I might not bother with the FM downcoverter.

don'tdomelikethat, did you ever get a 42-355?
