...... on the Realistic DX-160. 

Picked up my DX-160 with operating guide a couple years ago at a quarterly swap at The Vintage Radio & Communications Museum of Connecticut (I remember you said you visited.)

Yes, the museum was really good. My son is a Air Force Radio tech and loved the place . We had a guided tour. So much stuff and info about it. Haven't been to the swaps though.
I bought my DX 160 about 4 years ago. It's had a lot of mods, digital frequency counter, recapped and a few other things. Surprising how well it works. Lots of fun.
