With all the notes on current portables, does anyone use one of the old tube-type portables? I vaguely remember a tube portable. Bright orange and slightly bigger than the Radio Shack TRF655 classic. I think it was made by GE, but I'm not certain. I was probably 10 or 11 and took it on a school field trip to NYC. On the way there all I could hear was the generator whine from the bus. It was loud enough that the teacher told me to shut it off.
Tried Googling the description, but never did find anything remotely like it. I do have a Zenith Transoceanic built maybe in the early 50's. Good shape and I bought it at a yard sale around 1973. It is much bigger than the orange portable.
