The first complete radio I ever owned was the similar RCA 5T1. That is the radio which I used to listen to WLS Musicradio, day or night, with a 100 foot longwire antenna when I was a young teenage Ron, about 100 years ago. You will enjoy your 5T. These are amazingly sensitive sets, when used with a good longwire. Especially considering they only have five tubes and no RF amp.

In fact, I hate to say it, but an RCA 5T or 5T1 will easily outperform a Philco 60.
