I'll second that.

An R4B on the BBC is a very pleasant radio to listen to.

This is not true of the R-4C.  It uses crystal filters in the 2nd IF, and is
not an L/C filtered radio like the 4/a/b.  A 6 Khz filter is available as a
standard item.  The "C" radio isn't a bad AM reciever.  The others aren't
either, since you can always tune off to one sideband or the other.
