Truly Great Radio

If you have not had the pleasure of playing around with a tube-powered
Zenith Transoceanic, boy, are you missing out. Great stuff. I am
starting to feel that there have been no good portable radios available
new since 1962. : )

Anybody else feel the same way?

They are nice radios which if in a good state of tune have a
wonderfully mellow sound and are passably sensitive to bigger stations.
But then the Panasonic RF-5000b from 1973 also had an incredibly
mellow and full sound too. And it was fully transistorized.
