Many European radios from the 50s were transformered am/fm/sw sets. They sort of had to be, since they were designed to run on multiple different mains voltages. My Norelco has an EL84/EL86 sort of push-pull transformerless output stage, and my Schaub-Lorenz has an SE EL84 output stage. The Norelco I don't have a good 6x9 for, but when mated up with an output transformer to an 8 ohm speaker, it produces really spectacular sound.
