I like the ones that "talk" to me...Unfortunately, most all of 'em do. Generally, on a console, the more tubes they have, the better a set they'll be-but more repair headaches are in order. One of the cutest sets I have is a 1938 Arvin 2-tube model-Arvin made TONS of cheap 3, 4, & 5 tube sets in the thirties when lotsa folks could afford little else. Because they were cheap, not all that many have survived in good shape. On the old battery sets of the '20s, try to get all the tubes w/it-the old "balloon" tubes are sometimes worth more than the radio.-Sandy G.
