Hi Jayce
The sets are pretty similar but the '165 has a rf amp before the mixer, but the '260 has no rf amp but two IF amps
So the '165 should pickup more stations (has more front end gain) but can't separate them apart where the '260 should be able to separate them better (better selectivity because of more IF gain).
Audio looks to be the same. I'd say it's a toss up.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
