I meant to check in earlier on this, I have a weakness for these little RCA's. I also like the one on your Radio Museum photo page at the bottom with the large lighted dial. For 5 tubes these are not bad sets, I DX with mine for a challenge and routinely get 740 from Toronto, 1010 from NYC.

They are simple but the designs are cool, and they take up little space.

Have fun.
