Derailling is half the fun...
I am not collecting old radios but when I see an old one in good condition at a yard sale or similar I just cannot walk away.
The red one/orange that you noticed is a Bang&Olufsen Beolit 505. It has a fantiastic sound.
Got it for nothing since it did not work. I had a theory about why and I was right - the string that moves the scale was torn (or rather - when one moves the scale it rotates the thingy that changes the frequency).
That was something I could sort out myself and the radio is now my workshop music machine.
My personal favourite is this Blaupunkt though
Runner up - my grandfathers Telefunken
