This is a quality, USA made, Magnavox tube radio that sounds really nice. When you turn it on you wait about 10-15 seconds for the tube to warm up, which I find very cool. Then you hear a nice clean radio station coming in. Peaking in through the back, you see the glowing tube, capacitors, inductors.....no complicated integrated circuits. There is something special and nostalgic about listening to a tube radio. Unlike radios made today this will not go down in value
