New to tube radio...need advice.

[Sandy G]

Seek professional psychological help as soon as possible...(grin) Barring that, one of the umpteen zillion Zenith AM/FM sets made from the late '40s thru the mid-60s oughta whet yr appetite...They're common, relatively easy to get going, not too expensive, & if coupled w/an antenna, give not-too-shabby performance. The tubes in 'em are about in the "Dime-a-Dozen" category, but most of the time, the tubes don't give trouble anyway.
