Radio nerditry:

Easily the best AM (medium wave) radio I have ever used, in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and raw funness of use, is the Potomac Instruments FIM-41. Made from the 1970’s to around 2010, it’s actually a “field strength meter” designed for making compliance measurements of broadcast antenna patterns. Shockingly expensive new, they were sold mostly to broadcast stations and FCC enforcement offices.

It’s a box of pure analog/mechanical joy, with all the dials and switches.
