Excellent model and beautiful render. I've never seen a real one of
whatever this is, but it's a very cool looking thing.

I didn't see this model, I modeled it after pictures

Very, very cool. I used to own a later version of one of these receivers so
I feel an extra attachment to it :-)
Great use of lighting, concept, angle, and I particularly like the light you
created on the top. Subtle, yet it adds a lot to the impression.

The only thing I could think of to make it better would be to spline the
cord because it doesn't look natural sticking straight out.

Damn nice work.

Not to be redundant, but I keep coming back to this picture and the more I
look at it, the more impressed I get. Check out that wrinkle in the paper
around that missing vacuum tube (if that's what that is -- I don't know
anything about the thing). I mean, you just don't see that level of
attention to detail and subtlety in anything but the greatest work around.
I, literally, right now, am printing off this picture to put it on my wall
for inspiration.

Now, to be redundant, DAMN nice job!!!

Thank you, but I really did no lighting work, it is done by a HDRI map, I
just gave it the orientation I found the best working :)

Yes, lol it is already a spline but I agree it could fall faster.

Thanks again

Please don't credit me of things I didn't do :)
What you call missing tube is a shielded tube and you can see the top of it
through the top of the cylinder shield.
The shield is cylindrical and the "wrinkle" is a radiosity artefact :-)

istr recall that valve screening cans had a 'large at the top of the can 
diameter' spring that tapered down to about 0.5 the can diameter at the
top of the valve. that's what i thought it was.
