I don't listen to the radio that regularly (except when I had a job the first 8 months of the pandemic). During the thick of the pandemic I used the AM radio portion of an RCA 8TR29 a lot since it isn't plagued by AM band noise the way my AIWA solid state bench stereo is.
I've got a green 40s silvertone that was my first recap and a tube Zenith AM/FM stereo table radio that are probably among my more often used tube radios.
The tube device that probably gets the most hours is my homemade output-transformer-less surround sound amplifier. I built that in 2013 and it has been used usually more than an hour a day every day I'm home, often more than 4 hours a day, and a few times has been accidentally left on roughly for 36 hours straight.
Some of my tube TVs used to get comparable run time to the amp but the air-conditioning vent to my room is lousy and I use my HD CRT set more than my all tube sets these days.
