As you get into tube radios more and more, stick to the high end Philco sets. Hopefully, you'll have enough room in your place for even a Philco 16. You'll spend a few serious bucks for one, but once re-capped, and aligned, you'll find out just what a radio is all about.
Over the years that the 16 was built, it took many forms, all of which were sensational. I have it in a few of those forms. There is a chairside, with remote speaker, straight console, cxathederal, several tombstone styles, and I believe a phono combination model that some might want to kill for, and which I don't have.
You can be in for a lot of fun.
Oh, and the 37 and 38 690's are nice, too.
