Midgets seem easier
to come by in plastic or metal form. In addition, those made
of wood seemed to suffer more abuse. Since they were made for
the price-concious market, most were not worth using veneers
on and usually had solid wood cases. Still, note the nice 2-toned
Travler and especially the craftmenship of the RCA Victor, which I
believe has the same chassis, dial, bezel and knobs as the more expensive
beetle plastic version.
