a valve driven radio ! Unfortunately, not working anymore, there's one valve for which I can not find a replacement. Usual stations we could pick up was Brazzaville, Leopoldville, Delhi, Dakar, Cincinnati, Australia, various stations allover.

This link shows the tubes(Valves to you) in this radio. They are available. Tell me which one and I will see what I can find.
