I have seen several Crosleys I have thought were aesthetically pleasing to view but have not had the confidence in the innards to go for it. I have to keep looking. If the tube set up does seriously contribute to performance why bother. Like those old ads, "6 tubes provide 8 tube performance" they said that to think you were getting a hot set. On the other hand just cause a set has 10 tubes it can still be a clunker.
