I just looked at mine and it is an SX-727, no tubes in it. It does have
a crackle in one channel occasionally, back in the 80s I took it to a
shop, they let it run a coupla days and never heard it burp, brought it
home, 20 min later it crackled, still does it occasionally.

i find a lot of the old vacuum tube radios sound really great even though
they are just one big speaker and that's it.

There are only three sports:
I have a few vacuum tubes, probably over 1000 of them. But I restore old
vacuum tube radios as a hobby. Some of my tubes are used in very popular
tube amps I know I can match them sell them for a good price but if I do
then I won't have them to support the hobby.
I also have a few tube testers.
I have an old console stereo, that is about the same size as a coffee
table, that uses vacuum tubes. Its amazing actually, a friend of my
grandmothers gave that thing to me in 1983, when I was in the 3rd grade.
I still have it although I have not played it in years.
