That guy looks like a Tooob set they just took the Tooobs out of & put them new-fangled TranSister thingamabobs in...

But those TranSister things use holes instead of electrons! Well,

Indeed, looks very similar to old RCA portable tube sets I've seen (in pictures).

The RCA Globe Trotters are supposed to be very good for long-distance AM reception. If anyone has or knows of one for sale (either kind), let me know.
