Default best Radio Shack portable transistor radio?

http://images.google.ca/images?gbv=2...o+shack+12-655
The model: 12-655 TRF AM radio
I have one and they are/were good for DXing. They made a similar one
including the FM band but it wasn't anywhere near the same for pulling in
stations.

A while back I was told that the Realistic 12-255 or 12-256 were the
best radios they made for AM BCB listening. But I must have gotten the
model number mixed up or copied wrong. The one I saw was about the size
of text book. Anyone have any hints or tips on what it might be? I
think if I saw a pic I might recognize it
Thanks
