Default A note on backward, F'd up 3rd world countries

Honestly, it's because there is no market here for them. Good old
faded memories, people forget the reason why tube radios stopped being
made.. and the answer is simple... transistor radios were superior in
every possible way, more reliable, less drift, didn't break down as
much, more portable, and cheaper to build.

If there was a market for tube radios, they would still be made
somewhere.
