Here in Tucson, we have a 24-hour Classical station from the University of
Arizona. I think it has excellent sound quality.

Speaking of radios, I'm gonna start looking for some of those nice table
radios Magnavox had in the 60s/70s. Beautiful cabinets and nice sound.

when i was in college back in 70, i picked up a big westinghouse
cabinet am/fm/turntable for $15 at the disabled war vets store.
i went down the street to SAFEWAY and bought a missing tube for $3.
Yeah, SAFEWAY was selling tubes in 1970. Thing fired up and worked
great. I replaced the old sledgehammer turntable with a $50 turntable
and had reasonable sound for the money. Only mono, but it rocked.

got rid of it down the road. too bad, but sometimes you can't
warehouse all the stuff you find.

it would have make a real good big tube TV stand these days
