I was pOOking arOOund OOn OOld time radiOOs and fOOund this OOne:
The "Mae West" radio from Emerson.
I love those knobs.
Hey, knobs,
knobs

Details.... if needed.

(I tried to look up the tube 3CR-241which they call a "ballast tube," but I suspect it was a voltage regulator tube to keep the tuning stabilized, especially in the short-wave band.)
ETA: ^Yep.

Don't forget to read the biography of the designer, Count Sakhnoffsky, at the bottom of the link. He was apparently quite the roué, he was.
