I like that Rob has included the specs of vintage receivers. Among
other things,
I was pleased to see how well my Drake R-4C with Sherwood mods stacks up
against the best receivers of today.
The fact that I no longer have access to the bench of test equipment
that I did
years ago, other than a DVM that I bought, has kept me from acquiring
any more
vintage gear.
