All-American 5 tube superhet ca. 1958

Dave,

While I appreciate your contribution, the question dealt with
portables. Are there other portables that you think I might be
overlooking?

I actually have a nice tube portable AA5* with a tuned RF section that
performs excedingly well. It's a GE set. I've had some older Philcos as
well, but the GE seems to just edge them out in gain and sound quality.

* instead of a rectifier, the fifth tube is an RF amp. Tube lineup is: 1U4,
1R5, 1U4, 1U5, 3V4
