I love shortwave radios that glow in the dark and keep you warm in the winter.

@hamrad88

You said it Tom! There's nothing like a distant DX streaming in through the same tubes that are simulteaneously warming the listening area lol.

Modern Jensen's works great with your old Hallicrafters.

@pesnyaozemle -thanks Taka-as you well know being the owner of some of these radios, you cannot put just any old communications speaker to this, you need to give a speaker that will do that awesome pushpull audio justice! The Jenson you see with the sx-88 is the center channel speaker out of a 5 channel set someone in the neighborhood cast to the streetside for dumping-I guess they upgraded their home system. I run the sattelite speakers of that set on my other rigs in the shack.
