Re: [HCDX] Tube radio question

["Robert Montgomery" <RMonty3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 1L6 is now $38.  So talk about ouch....  Needless to say, I do not move
the radio around, it sits in the same place but still gets used.  Back in
the day, the late 60's I worked for Zenith and never thought much of the
radio.  I repaired them for 10 years when I got sick of changing the same
stinking tubes, and then quit.  Funny but the darn radios are worth more now
then back in the 60's and I seem to look on them a little differently now.
Still a great program listening type radio.
