Sure. If you really want good SW coverage, look for a 16B cathedral. Big, heavy, pricey. 11 tubes, AM and four SW bands.
And then there is the 44B. Not quite as big, AM and three SW bands, six tubes. Good performer.
You also have three 1935 Philco models to choose from - 144B (chassis nearly identical to the 44B); 118B (8 tubes, AM and one SW band tuning from around 4 to 12 mc).
One more choice - 43B from 1932 (AM and three SW bands, 8 tubes). A bit harder to find than the others mentioned above.
I purposely did not list cathedrals such as the 60B, 14B, 18B, 19B and 89B since they do not have a true SW band.
