Our dear Phil does get into a tiz over a trifle sometimes.

I repair, rewire, or seriously modify at least 5 AM radios per year.
I've done 3 this year and there are 3 waiting to be done, and its only
May.

I built a complete radio in 1999, 10kHz of AF bandwidth, variable 
selectivity, linear IF amp, linear detector, linear AF amp with 
EL34 in triode with 12AX7 and 12dB FB. Rola 12" Deluxe speaker from 1953
with a dome tweeter from 1972, because the 12" speaker is fairly flat to
5kHz.

I have never heard any other AM sets that come close except 
the one in the AM-FM tuner at my website, which I designed, and of
course the 
Quad AM tuner all tubed, that isn't bad at all.

AM radios are vey tubey things, and discussing them here is fine by me.

But we rarely get tubed TV sets being discussed or tubed FM radios.
