Ron, I wasn't aware of the three gang tuning condenser and that is maybe more important to me than the metal/bakelite escutcheon issue. I like my radios to perform well and living out where I do (boonies) reception is pretty bleak. I couldn't live without my SSTran3000 but I still like to do some dxing and enjoy listening to shortwave broadcasts at times.

Thanks for enlightening me and I'll be searching for just the right set.I also agree with Eliot Ness that now is a good time to buy-prices do seem to be down on everthing except the very rarest of sets now. I am planning on attending the Kutztown Meet coming up pretty soon and maybe I will find one there.

Thanks again for the help.
Frank
