I don't know. I think for some us the set produced after the war where are not quite as interesting as the former. A lot of the set after the war electrically are the same old AC/DC jobs just with smaller tubes. The SW bands that listener relied on to hear the latest war news got replaced by this new HiFi thing called FM. Gone pretty much was the tuning indicator the eye tube, meter,or shadowgraph.
What can I tell you I think the prewar sets have more character.
Just one guys opinion.
