What a beautiful piece of equipment, the sound they produce is so rich, no digital output can match it. Good score!

60's-era Wundercart radio by Saronno, an Italian company. Some of these have record players in the top too.

I restore old tube radios and convert some of them into guitar amps. They have a great sound for electric guitars

Nice! And it sill has its tubes. Any junker worth his salt knows that the original intact tubes are extremely hard to find.

because of how radio stations are now, it does not receive any radio signal. He even found an old 1906 Victrola that he restored. (2)
