For just AM short-wave I like my Grunow 7NB. I do cheat and use a 6 volt
power supply instead of the lead acid battery. Once a year you need to get it out
of the wood cabinet and change the two bias batteries under the chassis. The
original batteries for the bias are no longer available, but you can get some
good stuff from radio shack that almost fits right in. Of course its been
recapped. re tubed. cabinet refinished. Chassis refinished. Love the slop and lash
in the tuning dial.
It almost glows in the dark. Early 6 volt tube filaments just do not glow
like a good 6082 series regulator tube.
