Not as big or as nice sounding as the 2010, but the CCrane skywave ssb2 is a good option.
Small, portable, has AM, FM, SW, (with ssb), Aircraft, and weather band.
Pretty blind friendly to operate.  Haven’t tried doing memories yet, but from the manual, it looks pretty easy.
No sync detect, but for all the other features, I’ll take it.
Uses 2 AA cells.  Last time I checked, $169.00.
