I've been looking at farm radios recently, but my wife says they're extra big because they were supposed to hold batteries, and cabinets that extra big are bigger than she wants in her house.

I'm surprised Philco was still making farm radios in 1941! Seems late to me. But what do I know? I just started looking at them. ;-)
