I picked up this beautiful (and fully functional) 1938 Stewart-Warner AM/SW radio. The model number was R-1801. It picks up all the local AM stations clearly. The little gray box on the top of it is a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the back of the unit, so you can stream to it as well. It's fun listening to OTR radio programs on an actual old-time radio. When I was a kid in the early 80s, my grandfather had a radio from the 1940s that he listened to in his den. We'd sit there on Saturday nights and listen to the Grand Ole Opry on WSM out of Nashville. It was our Saturday night tradition. With this radio, I've revived that tradition, though my grandfather has been gone for 20 years.
