RCA 19K vs Crosley 819m Curvflector
#2

My vote is to make room for the Crosley just because it's a pretty cool set that isn't very common.  In nice condition these are stunning radios:
   

Not sure how much (if any) you'll save on your electric bill listening to a 7 vs 11 tuber, but sometimes tube count doesn't always equal better performance.  I plugged in my little 4 tube Detrola cathedral a while back and was shocked at the number of stations that little guy was bringing in with a 2 foot antenna.
