With the proper crystals for the SWBC bands, an R-4B makes a very nice receiver.
PBT, preselector, IF notch, etc.

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.
They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows,
there may be more dufi there.
I had an R-4C for a while, it didn't work too well, it needed work. I
was able to sell it almost instantly for a nice profit. I would like to
find another one, that actually works well, again some day. But I would
rather have a Hammarlund HQ-180A instead.
Thought I'd pass this along... but be warned, it's a HEFTY price:

Thanks, but I have no money for any new toys right now. Besides, turning
the HQ-100 on alone makes this room about 5 degrees warmer in the spring
and summer, enough to take it from "okay" to "miserable". A bigger tube
rig would end up being a very heavy paperweight.
