I had a fad on US 'plastic' radios and have a few. Some are better lookers than others such as the Belmont 6D-111, 1939/1946. Most are pretty standard circuitry and after you have done a few its enough with typical 5 valve performance.
This is a little better as it has an unturned RF pre-amp, the Philco 46-420, 1946.
Better still is this RCA Victor 2-X-61 6 tube set with a tuned RF stage (not shown on the linked site). It really does work well, sensitive and selective.
My taste is now for the woodies and to me this is particularly beautiful: Stewart Warner R-1262A, 1933. But the Crosley sets are stunning as well with some super veneer work.
