Coronado 42DL670

Yes, it's a large set and has very nice sound. With a quickie alignment it pulls in stations. 

The two pillars on either side of the grillecloth have holes in them on the chassis side of the cabinet. I think this design has something to do with the nice bass response of this set. 

Agree about WG sets, the higher tube count sets are usually very affordable and perform well. I also have a Truetone with an OEL  11-tube chassis that also sounds great and has the same ganged broad/sharp system. Also have a D-697 Truetone teledial with a WG A2 11-tube chassis. This one has a separate "broad/sharp" control directly under the dial. Interesting in that while it resembles the OEL in some respects and has the same tube count, it only uses one stage of IF amplification and is not as good a receiver as a result. 

The mac-daddy of all W.G. sets is the 6F chassis, which featured 16 tubes, four 2A3/two 5Z3 power and 30W output. I have searched for years for one of these. 

FYI note the Magnavox Regency next to it. These are usually inexpensive sets that pack a nice punch with respect to sound and reception. This one has 4-6V6 and 2-5Y3 on the power chassis, 21 tubes total counting the AM/SW chassis and the FM chassis. It offers 20W undistorted output, and although the SW band does not go below 5MHz, on the internal antenna it receives SW very well!!
