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.
