Philco made many great tabletop radios. My personal favorite is the 48-482. When brought up to as new specs it is an amazing performer. Using just the built in antennas, on AM I can pick up stations from New York and Canada easily, even during the day, which is tough around my house because of the "hash" during the day around here. Shortwave comes in surprisingly well also on just the built in antenna, and I can get stations from all over the world. Once tuned properly, the FM of this receiver is quite good, even with the original line cord antenna. Looks wise the 48-482 is an impressive receiver, with its luridly glowing slide rule dial, and stately, handsome cabinet. So, my vote goes to the 48-482
