Thumbs up Beautiful brand new tube radios

All I have to say is WOW! These are some beautiful radios. The cabinets are made of real wood and feature a full tube compliment in the tuner and amplifier sections. It also has a magic eye that uses a 6E2 for tuning. No cheap ss components to be found here. Has anyone else come across these?

These do appear to be hybrids with a solid state RF stage though...looks like just the audio amplifier is tube type.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is so good to know that there is such a quality product being made today! I would have never know such a product existed.

Gorgeous! It's a shame it doesn't have RCA outputs to just use the tuner section, as it would look cool sitting on a shelf next to a turntable and hooked to an integrated unit or a tube preamp/amp combo.
