It's pretty good. Being upstairs it gets some interference from the TV and computer when they are on, but when they are off (or especially at night), I can get a ton of SW stations and pretty strong and clear local stations.

Beautiful work gentlemen.
Feels like going back in time.

So here I am, listening to "In A Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington and John Coltrane on my 39-45, and I hit this thread again.
Thank you all.
That was better than a cold mojito on a warm beach evening.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.

I recently finished my 95.  Thanks to all here that assisted.  Here is the dial.

Just completed restoration of a Philco 38-12.  The dial is a bit mundane compared to the preceding examples, but the photo looks good.
