I have a Hippo, pretty good little set. In Boston I get all the NY City Stations at nite and many low power locals. They are nice and small so they can follow you around the house. I think some collect them because of their look rather than performance. They have a novel dial concept and at least stand out amongst a lot of the post war ac/dc sets.

Good luck with yours.
