[R-390] (OT) Does anyone know a good place for selling tabletop tube radios?

[blw]

Darryl,

I believe that I've seen a nice wood Delco a few years ago. Also, Crosley
and Firestone made plastic and wood radios. I did have a Firestone that I
swapped for a little Hallicrafters HT-202 5 tube plastic AM refrigerator top
radio. It has a rounded bottom to fit on top of the old round top fridges.
That is my wife's favorite. Gotta keep her in the collecting part of the
hobby. (g) I still have the Crosley. They look very much like the metal car
dashes and are sometimes called car dash radios.

My Sam's index shows a few Delcos. Send me the model # and I'll look it up.
I don't have all of them.
