Greetings All!
I would second Defcon's choices but I would really love to have all of
the selections listed. Really though, if we don't get our choices we
still will always want them until we have "it" out of our system. *The

Boatanchors were fun when electricity was 2 cents a Kilowatt hour. I've
had 2 [ea] R390-As, a Westinghouse branded RA-17 series, RCA 18 Mhz
receiver from the War, BC-348, etc. Got it out of my system. Still use
tubes for music.


....a Westinghouse branded RA-17 ? Are you joking ??
