 Ahhhhhh, some of those larger radios had a shortwave band or two.
 Some went up to 3mcs, others to 10mcs.  They even had push buttons
 the owner could program, and windows to insert pieces of paper
 with the call letters of the stations.
 Production stopped during WWII, and after the war all efforts were
 directed to manufacturing TV's.  We wound up with a pile of useless
 table models that didn't even have an RF stage, but did have a
 "converter" instead of an oscillator/mixer.  The 2-section ganged
 tuning capacitor became a single-section component.
