You might look for an old boat-anchor like a Hammarlund SP600 series
receiver or an R390.  Or even an old HQ-129-X, HQ-140, HQ-110, HQ-170,
or similar tube-type receceiver.  Many of these are available at flea
markets for under $100, and they ar FAR better (if working correctly)
than anything new you could get for $100.  Also, they will probably
retain their $100 resale value indefinitely, should you decide to
unload them.
