Personally, I like the 38-690 for both its cabinet an it's design. I am hoping to be able to fin and afford one someday. It is one of only three radios I really want to find anymore. One is either a Philco 37-116 or 38-116, the second one a 1939 Zenith 15 tube robo, and the final is of course the 38-690. Icon_smile
