I agree that the Collins S-line made a great set-up.  But I always thought
Collins gear was somewhat over-rated.

How about the Drake 2B receiver?  Heck; I'd still like to have that one
with the Q multiplier/knotch-filter/speaker attachment -- all in great
condition, of course.  I saw a set-up like that at PDX Radio years ago and
have been kicking myself ever since I didn't buy it.
