Any Stores Selling HD Table Radios?

It was my dad's bedside radio, and got tossed in 1964 when he bought a Sears AM-FM-SW portable.

After doing a Google search, this 1949 model 49-500 looks like it was that radio I remember.

Too bad, that would be pretty collectable today. If you'd replaced the filter capacitors and peaked up the IF transformers (an easy job) you might have been surprised at how well it worked, especially at nignt.

Unfortunately, I was 9 years old in 1964 and hadn't yet learned how to solder. Nor would I have known which cap to replace or how they were able to stuff even one microfarad inside one, let alone tens or hundreds of those things. ;D
