The Buckingham  sounds very good [ in my shop] ,but where I have it in the living room it is real crappy.
 I have my rogers 10-12 on the same wall and there is a lot of interference.
 I live in a duplex and that wall is concrete, and  no matter what radio I place there it does not sound good.
  I may move it  later in the year.

Yes that is  a bug screen on top of the Aladdin lamp.
I have about 15 Aladdin lamps , among a lot of other antiques.
 I have found that the value of these  lamps has gone down a lot in the last 5 or 6 years, but we still like them.

Great looking radio.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Dan,
If it doesn’t work on the next wall, I have a good wall here that I’m confident it’ll work on Icon_smile
