Those are so cool! I love 'em !
But kinda pricey. They're worth it, in my opinion, if you can afford them. Because they're a little piece of history and so interesting. But you don't have to spend a thousand buck to own your own little piece of history. For anywhere between $50.00 and $200.00, you can get a nice table radio from the thirties, fourties or fifties, and think about how someone listened to new about WWII and other historically significant events as you listen to it today.
Check out estate sales and eBay for old tube radios. You can find 'em anywhere in your budget.
It is interesting that the novelty radios - like the Coca-Cola radio - are the ones that are worth the most money. I personally like the "regular" table radios with wood cabinets. They're all hand-made, and most are beautiful.
I'd love to see your collection. Can you snap a few pics of your radios and upload 'em here in this thread?
