When my wife an I were about to get engaged, my future fauther-in-law
asked if I could fix radios! I said yes and got an old tube set with
metal enveloped octal based tubes (remember those 6SQ7 et al) and a 12"
electrodynamic speaker. Well I fixed it an electrolytic (HUM) and 1 tube
and it was working. He was amazed, gave me his daughter, and it has been
working ever since. Still have his daughter and he has the radio at his
cottage (has been 20 years). 

Yep they don't make'm like they used to!!!
