Check out the SQ units at Quest for Sound. These are current production models designed by Steve Monte at QFS with a very nice retro look. About the size of a standard toaster. Great sounding.
I got all of mine on ebay. The coolest looking ones are the black dial Zeniths from the 1930's. It always amazed me that at 80 years old they still sound great!
Bbro - It's my preference to buy knew. I've had my eye on tube radios at Quest for sometime. However, I've tried ordering one of these several times in the past and have been told they're not available. I'm certainly going to try them once again.
Purchasing used from ebay is possible. However, I do have concern about buying something that breaks down and then having to find someone to repair, or even finding correct tubes..
If you want new and are taken by 60s nostalgia, I can recommend the solid state Tivoli Model One radio, which is a dead ringer for the KLH table radio that everyone owned in the 60s. After looking at them in other people's homes for years, I just bought one for our kitchen. It's great.
Yogiboy, I used to listen to The Lone Ranger on a black Zenith tube radio, when I was a child in the early 50s. I never realized it dated back to the 30s.
