Thanks for all the suggestions on a receiver. What I ended up with is a Drake 2B and a SX-99 Traded for the Drake and 50.00 for the 99 I am finding out that quite a few of the local hams have this stuff sitting around. So to start with the line up is the Ranger,Drake and a Loudenboomer mark 2I restored if nothing else they should all look good setting next to each other!!! Again thanks for the help and I am sure I have mant more questions as time goes on.
