"I have a box of several -- you're welcome to some if you'd like. Just feed hook up an antenna and speakers and feed it 12 volts, and you've got a quite nice little stereo."
They don't want more current than I can suck out of most suplus wall-warts, do they? One with line-outs to go to an equalizer would be a bonus because then I could send it through my mixer with the rest of my audio, but if that feature doesn't show up on hand-me-downs, I've got a pair of 8 Ω speaker cabinets I could rearrange the office to make room for (and if I dig enough, maybe I can find another pair if the radio wants 4 Ω).
"6L6 tubes first appeared in 1936, and are arguably the tube in longest continuous production (still made today, in at least four countries)."
Yow.
"As for your antenna, try unrolling a bunch of aluminum foil along two adjacent walls, forming a big "L" and hook that to your radio. "
I'll try that. Heh. Come summertime, I'll have foil on the windows to keep out the evil heat-the-house-up rays, and foil on the walls to attract the happy bring-me-music rays.
