I picked up a 1946 Emerson bakelite table radio (with the "American Five" octal GT tube complement) on Ebay last week which had what appeared to be four original tubes....at least they looked ancient and were labeled "Emerson." The 35Z5 half-wave rectifier was a Ken-Rad of unknown vintage.The radio tunes all of the usual local AM stations with no drift, and the audio is strong and clear.
Not bad for 61 years!
