Heh, I have a few already. :-) I’ve even got one of those funny looking ones that has knobs on it. With VHF & UHF dials. And fine tuning. And only screw terminals on the back, none of those fancy RCA/phono jack connectors on it.
A little over half a century ago, UHF was an extra price option! My brother and I pooled our money and bought a 19" Philco "portable". Our father chipped in the additional to get UHF. I remember watching the Cuban missile crisis on it, with my father muttering, "The SOB has gotten us into war!"
