I got this a while ago, if you see one of these get it, they are great little radios.

Its very small about 5 by 7, two knobs and a 88-108 scale out front.

Its all tube and really pumps out the volume with very little distortion.

I used neg feed back off the secondary of the audio out.

Its inductor tuned and has very little drift.

I have one of these radios, it's a nice little hot chassis table radio.

i have one of those too, along with the "stereo companion" unit.

these were sold as mono tabletop radios but there was a optional matching stereo multiplex / amplifier combo that matched the radio. both units connected using a standard stereo patch cord.
