This is a real nice looking HRO receiver. HRO receivers are a classic.
I've never used one myself.

Halicrafters SX 99 receiver. This is the first time I have ever seen one of these.
I assume they are fairly rare. It is a nice looking radio.

The Collins KWM-1 transceiver. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the earlier sideband transceivers that Collins put out. Collins equipment is the "cadallac" of ham
radio gear. Heathkit equipment was nick named a "poor mans Collins". I myself, never owned a Collins transceiver.

True Boatanchors here pictured above. Im not sure of the exact model numbers of these radios. They are either 32 V2 or 32 V3 or maybe even 32V1 (Collins).
I used to own a 32V2 back in the fall of 1972. I made my first contact with a Collins 32V2 transmitter. My receiver was pretty crummy. A heath HR10B. I later upgraded my
receiver to a Yaesu FRDX series tube receiver. My collins transmitter developed a problem. At that time, I was pretty poor in my electronics repair capabilities so I sold
the transmitter and got a Ten Tec Argonaut 505 transceiver. -- NEEDLESS to say!!-- I wish I would have kept that old Collins Transmitter.

Below picture: my cell phone is really important to me. On the road when I travel it is a
great accessory. The little cell phone is dwarfed by these heavy metal monsters with
their vacuum tubes and high voltage power supplies!

Above..me posing with a floor microphone. Below..some small receiving loops
for the broadcast band. I was especially interested in the small loops. For my
ham station ..I am considering building a small loop to try out.

Above another loop. Below Speakers and Microphones. I can remember as a boy on
the farm; our gramafone had a type of resonant cavity to channel the sound.
