While not high tube count I do have some very large table models, a Stewart Warner 1946 and a RCA from 1938, easily about 24 inches across.

The larger sets do seem to play well, maybe a bit more engineering and component quality in them.


Here is a RCA 28X5 just before they stopped production for the war..............8 tubes, 9 inch speaker.
