I kinda like the idea of tubes in a tube radio. With Ebay, you can get about any obsolete tube you need and oft for a good price. I tried a diode replacement for a selenium rect before I knew I needed a dropping resistor - promptly blew out the aged filter cap. There IS something about the glow of those tubes inside instead of the darkness of about everything modern.

My 2 cents..
