I'm looking for my first tube shortwave radio. I'm not too good with repairs
besides simple soldering. I want the radio to actually work well and be usable
to hear far away stations as well as look cool. For an inexperienced person
like myself that wants a working vintage shortwave without too much in depth
repairs, does this look like it could be ok? I read that a lot of you have this
model. So it seems to be well-loved.

A concern I should have mentioned in my reply in the other thread is
tube radios often need to have the capacitors replaced for safety reasons.
