I think many of the older radios are more sensitive than newer sets. Back then, there wasn't often a radio station within 2 miles of the radio; so, these sets had to be more sensitive in order to receive distant stations.

I just fixed an 83 year old Atwater-Kent radio for a customer and, even though it doesn't sound that great or have the best sensitivity, it is still nice to bring an 83 year old piece of equipment back to life. I'd like to see someone fix some of this modern garbage in 80+ years.
