Personally, I'm most intersted in the 1930s and early 40s sets with wood cabinets.  Not too fond of anything in bakelite, although I do rather like the Westinghouse H-188 "Pagoda".  My sets so far include:

- Philco 41-608 Beam of Light, probably the one I'm most proud of so far.  Found it on the curb and had to refinish the cabinet and replace the zebra wood photo finish.  Still have the record player to get up and running as there is not much literature on how to actually replace the photocell in the tonearm.  Hopefully I'll get brave enough to tackle it in the near future. 
- Philco 84b, which is probably my second favorite now that it's operating again. I'll post a pic once the cabinet is refinished.
- Westinghouse WR-258 which needs a new transformer, but I love the look of the wooden case.
- Crosley 66TA American Overseas, which was actually my first tube radio; picked it up at an antique store - was already repaired.

I'd like to find a Wards Airline model with the "green eye" and probably a Silvertone with an Art Deco design. An Atwater Kent would also be nice at some point.  

Not interested in acquiring any that have already been refurbished as my interest lies in the challenge and satisfaction of repairing a set. And no more big floor consoles as my wife is already not happy with the four radios and three phonographs (Columbia, Silvertone, Edison) around the house, almost of of which I've repaired/refurbished.  Says our house is looking like a museum or antique store, which of course I'm totally fine with.

Thanks again for all the information and insight.
