Thanks, zako.

I would like to have a radio that do FM. In 1936 Fm was not produced commercially in US. I will be getting it not for collection purpose but I am actually planning to listen it and I do not have anything I am interested in AM or SW. BTW, I have a few Telefunkens radios from 1936-39. It is not to mention that in 30 they did not do radios as good as they did in 50s.

There is another thing – I do not like American radios. I admit that that there is a fraction of fetish in this project of mine and I have pleasure from this fetish. My fetish comes from my feeling that some (not all) of old European radios are made very aesthetically pleasurable, at least to me. I have seen many US made old radios. A year or so ego I attended an estate sale (I have mentioned it somewhere at my site) with literally hundreds vintage US radios – the guy who pass away was collected and repaired them for 60 years. I literally did not find anything that I liked. The American Art Deco stylization is something he I not wild about…
