I've always been a sucker for itty-bitty radios. (Never fear, Sandy...the boatanchors still rule!) Keep hoping to stumble upon a Standard Micronic "Ruby" or whatever they're called at a garage sale. I like the little tube rigs, too. I have a Motorola "Pixie" with one miniature and 3 subminis...cute as heck and about the same size as my Grundig YB320.

Oh, yeah... I myself have a couple of little Arvins from B4 the war, one is a 2 tube set from '38 that does a good job of pulling in the local Angel Modulation station, & the other is a 3-tuber of about the same vintage that is just as willing, but needs a little more antenna wire. Also several 4 tubers that actually will pick up stations BEYOND the local one. They all have a certain charm in & of themselves.
