BEAUTIFUL 1939 GE GD-520 RADIO - AMAZING BEETLE PLASTIC CASE - PLAYS NO HUM
This tiny little beauty is from my personal collection - and it is time to pass it on. The cabinet is all original polished "beetle" plastic - not bakelite or catalin - and very unusual since there are no cracks or chip on this case. The wrap around grille, original dial, and the brass escutcheon are just fantastic! Looks terrific from every angle and when displayed on my shelf!
ITEM:
GE GD-520 5
-TUBE RADIO
YEAR/AGE:
1939
MATERIAL/CONSTRUCTION:
Beetle Plastic
GRADE
: 9.5/10 - gorgeous cabinet
CONDITION NOTES
:
Beautiful Beetle GE mini-radio with a gorgeous original cabinet that is the star of the show here.
The cabinet is
excellent
with no breaks or cracks or chips - only the most slight wear from use anywhere.
Back cover is present, likely a replacement and in excellent condition.
All original knobs are present and working. The knobs look great with wonderful marbling.
The chassis is complete and playing without hum so someone re-capped it in the past.
Note: I find this radio to be particularly affected by dimmer switch interference (buzz) and other lighting at my house. This radio plays and I've tuned in four local stations clearly with decent volume.  Reception may benefit from a signal alignment and using the added antenna wire.
