Does any one owns tube portable radios that have F.M.?

Oh, it's 88-100 M.Hz. (M.c.).
I wondered if for Europeanen domestic market some one produced F.M. 88-108 M.Hz. portable tube radios. The Swedish produced some F.M. 88-108 tube radios for it's market, but I could'nt find out if they made portable tube radios with that band.

An FM tube portable..... I could get into that!

I've got an early 60s Zenith tube clock radio that does FM quite well, It's on my desk at work.

Other FM/tube sets I have are consoles. The first one is a Zenith AM/FM with a V-M Cobramatic record changer from 1950. Uses the Armstrong type circuit. The second one is the Philco 42-390 cabinet with a 42-380 chassis with a Pilot FM tuner rigged to it

I remember seeing a German AM-SW-FM portable radio in the mid-50's. The cabinet was wood and plastic construction.
I asked to see the inside and it was all tube and used an odd-ball battery pack of German with a 103 volt "B" section.
This was at the Olson Radio store in downtown Milwaukee.

Intresting memory.
But by chance, do you remember the price?

IIRC, it was well over $100.00 USD back then!
I was only 12 or 13yrs old at the time. I was there picking up some small parts to complete a project that was in an a Popular Electronics or similar magazine back then.
