Default Your longest-lasting SW receiver?

Hallicrafters S-38EB radio and a Grundig AM/FM/Shortwave/Phonograph
wooden cabinet floor model radio (I say it was built by Telefunken
because everything in the two little owners/operators pamphlets that
came with the radio refer only to Telefunken as far as brand name
goes,but on the front grill is a warped [warped from age,I guess] pot
metal thingy that says Grundig and the only date I can find in only one
of the two owners/operators pamphlets/booklets says 1957) and a Grundig
Opus 7 AM/FM/Shortwave wooden cabinet radio.

I dont know which of those three radios is the oldest.I still need to
locate a power cord for my Grundig Opus 7 radio so I can try it out and
see if it works,when I bought the radio at a Goodwill store,the power
cord was missing.The other two radios (which I also bought at a Goodwill
store do still work,but I dont doubt they need some recapping or
whatever and a good tune up so they will work as good as new and I dont
know how to work on radios.
