Who made the best/worse tube radios

Who made the best/worse tube radios?
Was the nickname "Garbage Electric" (which was applied to "G.E. (General Electric)" tv sets) given to "G.E." radios too?
One of the worsest tube radios that I've seen in my entire life where the Romanian ones. They had to be cheap, so with the exception of a few models (those made by "Electromagnetica" in 1954-1960 and some made by "Radio Popular/Electronica") they where quyte bad...
Don't be afraid. In Western-Germany they made some bad radios too. They experienced with some tubes, that where uncomon and now they are hard to find. The dumbest of the West-German ideea was to made that thing called ECLL 800 (in order to make radios smaller); that thing wasn't bigger than an EL 84 (6BQ5) and it was overheating; if the thing that was hard to find isn't enough, it is almost imposible to replace it with something else. "Telefunken" made an amplifier using EL 34 (6CA7) tubes... the bad thing was that the tubes where mounted on printed board, and the printed borad melted

In Eastern-Europe, the best Hi.-Fi. tube radios where made in Eastern-Germany (G.D.R.) and Soviet Union. "Tesla" made Hi.-Fi. some radios using some very hard to find tubes.
