Or P-P output tubes for the audio! Some of the higher end late 50's Zeniths had the claim as being "fringe" reception sets as well as some models with two rectifiers.

I was thinking DuMont--but that's more for the cabinetry than the circuitry in a lot of cases (the radio's and phono's in them were NOT so great) and the I think only the top of the line DuMonts had DC resto.

Someone mentioned Stromberg Carlson-I agree they are built like milspec gear. Once had a 6BQ5 integrated stereo amp by them which was heavy and sounded great.
