I did a search and I saw great pictures of some of these radios. They are
just incredible. I notice that they often came with a panel on the back
side that came up. I wonder what that was for?

Not too long ago I was at J&R's (electronic store), and I did see replicas
of vintage radios. And I did see a Trans-Oceanic style radio. It looked
like the radio that was use in the Spirit of St. Luis. But this one did not
have SW, (dam)! I forgot the name of the brand!


And I think that The Shaper Image makes one too.

73!

I have a couple different models of these. They perform very well for
a tube radio. I perfer listening to the radio on a tube radio over the
new ones. My collection of tube radios are mostly from the 30's and
40's. My collection now includes 67 true radios.
Hang on to the Trans-Oceanic radios, they are becomming very
collectable.
