Here's an interesting radio from the relatively recent past: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radio-Shack-Multiband-Portable-Radio-Model12-456-in-box-broken-antenna-/251284044389?pt=US_Portable_AM_FM_Radios&hash=item3a81b23a65.  Radio Shack also stocks replacement antennas, BTW, and most of them appear standard.  They did warn about not getting the TV bands, which once again is too bad.  The Bachelor's favorite multiband at the swank lounge, not pictured at the site though, also gets the now pointless TV bands.  If the Heir doesn't find a converter antenna topper soon, he's thinking that it'd be cool if the two bands could be swapped for bands not on their radio.  Like one TV band can be swapped out for CB, and the other can be swapped out for the 145+ MHz vhf band.  Sure there may not always be signals, but we certainly would get more than on the TV bands which only get ghosts of FM stations, real trashy commercial ones too.
