Hi again.
I think you could get a really nice one that way if you like to tinker a little.
Again, there are lots of sites re DIY. Here is a little article about replacing Caps in radios from PhilÂ’s Old Radios Site. A nice practical intro for some stuff but it fails to tell you make sure you discharge the caps first! OUCH! http://antiqueradio.org/recap.htm
If you get a vintage make sure you get one with a schematic available (most are available for a price at the site in my forst post). Some are also more user friendly than others. For example, some are hard to align the tuner and some are not.
The Leak is a famous radio but can be tough to align. http://home.mira.net/~kiewavly/TLalign.html
Now that you have me thinking about this I'm getting the bug myself!
Cheers
