Default Re: Best looking vintage radio you have ever seen or owned??

Been having a think about the sets I actually own. I am really struggling to narrow it down, which probably explains why I own so many radios...I could post more but I will restrict myself to the five images the forum software allows.

1) Iberic Chantilly. Whilst I love the slightly more brash Art Deco of the Sparton range this pared down style is just as nice. I have owned it for years, not even fired it up yet, just love looking at it...

2) Marconi T37DA. A very quirky looking set. Spent several years looking for a good example and have owned two others in the process. I'm not sure it's really that beautiful but I still love the shape if that makes sense...

3) McMichael AC Superhet. Any 1930s speaker grilles are usually a hit with me...

4) Murphy A192. Designed by David Ogle of TR82 fame. Very simple but beautiful.

5) Philips 371A. Just look at it
