[Amps] FW: [Boatanchors] Best Boatanchor 160-10m Receivers for SSB?

[Fuqua, Bill L]

But Drake made an AM broadcast band and 160 meter converter.
They may require a simple external converter but barring that 
very good SSB receivers and all have product detectors.
    A single 6BE6 with a crystal and tuned RF input would make an excellent converter.
Otherwise you are left with expensive and or poor choices.
You could consider a
R4C but not quite same era.

Best to lesser perferred
SB300 or SB301
Drake 1A or 2B equally good for SSB but the 1A does not receive AM
R599 is a good one but foreign made

Don't think the Drakes or Heath do 160.....
