The ony one i can think of is the 'flying saucer' b&w one

I think it's because tubes were becoming obsolete in audio before compactrons became very popular. By the mid 60's tubes were being phased out as quickly as possible (at least that's what I see in the ads from 60's magazines). Also, wasn't the nuber of tubes in an audio device seen as a selling point?
