    Description

    Up for auction is a Antique 1937 G-50 General Electric Musaphonic Table Top Tube Radio that i found at a thrift store. It is still in good working condition the wires sticking out of the back are for an antenna it helps a lot if you hook one up. There is no back panel but I dont think it ever came with one there no mounting holes to put one on. Thee are some minor scratches on the case and one of the plastic round pieces on the tuning dial is missing. Zoom in on the pictures and you will see. All in all it's in good shape for being 84 years old. The only Bad thing is it weights over 18 lbs so shipping is going to be high.
    Below is some info that I found on the web.
