Mike: I still remember listening to the Shadow as I warmed my hands over
the

little thermals set up by the 6V6 'valves'.

Transistors stole my childhood. Damn you Bell Labs! g

LOL As they say... Real radios glow in the dark.

My late wife (N5GIN) of 52+ years, bless her, thought the same thing. She
would
have rather had an SX-28A in the living room than one of the super receivers
of
today.

My JRC NRD-525 has a red LED right inside the vent in the top of the metal
cabinet. If I squint my eyes a little it's easy to imagine that it's the
glow of a tube filament.
