I have a CR70A MK2, and it is one of my favourite radio. The things I like about it is that, it is very lively, sensitive and dynamic in reception. It works well on all the modes AM, CW and SSB reception too. It is also simpler design with 4 valves and not many parts. So if / when problems develop, then it would be easier to work on it than some other big radios with lots and lots of parts and more complicated design.
It is a keeper
