On that RCA 6BT6 you mentioned with the amount of tubes in the audio stage I have to wonder how its volume and sound quality compared to a PP AC set of the day. Also it's phono input and it's optional 6V or A and B battery configurations make me wonder if there was a companion 6V motor accessory phono for the 6V sets or if both were the odd combination of wind-up phono with electric pickup.
IIRC I've only owned 3 farm sets. 1 was a bland 4 tube AM only affair I've forgotten about, another was a Silvertone 3-4 band with slug tuning and RF stage (cabinet was a mess so I sold that), and a 4 tube Coronado with a beautiful inlaid wood cabinet the size of an AA5...I've been meaning to fix that one and build a supply for it.
