DG,

Here are a few Vintage Radios on eBay:


Lots of nice stuff out there. I wonder about the tube supply though..how
hard is it to get the things these days?

I haven't looked lately, so I don't know supply or pricing.

A long time ago, someone suggested a variable power supply for the
filament supply..the idea being that you could heat up the filaments in
a slow and orderly fashion and thereby extending their life
tremendously. It seemed to make sense as most lightbulbs fail at the
moment of being turned on. There are enough similarities that a
comparison may safely be made.
