Up for your consideration is this Extreme Retro/Deco & Beautiful looking vintage General Electric tube bakelite AM radio in great working condition.

This was an extremely popular radio when it was introduced in 1940's & still is by today's standards. The cabinet on this beauty is made of bakelite or think plastic & it is a Deep Dark Rich Chocolate Swirl/Marbled Brown in color. The swirling/marbling effect in the color on the cabinet shows best in bright light.
THIS CABINETS IS JUST SUPER COOL TO SAY THE LEAST & IT JUST "SCREAMS" OF
MODERNISM, DECO, RETRO, MID CENTURY & I GUESS ALL THE ABOVE:>)
There are no cracks or chips in the cabinet or noteworthy scratches. The gold tone plastic speaker grill adds a nice touch to the cabinet. The cabinet has been cleaned & polished which sill retains it's original sheen or shine & that shine is now a mirror glass shine that keeps going & going & going like the energizer bunny. This radio is clean as a whistle inside & out.

The plastic slide rule AM dial scale lens cover is in fantastic condition with no cracks & the graphics on the dial scale is in pristine condition. This radio did not come equipped with a dial light. The metal gold tone strip right below the plastic gold tone speaker grill adds a nice touch to the face of the radio.

When this nice & stunning looking GE is powered up, it pulls in AM stations all across that beautiful dial in my area & plays them Clean, Clear with Plenty of Volume.
This STUNNING GE would make an excellent addition to your radio collection or as a stand alone radio as it's power & beauty will surely be the talk of the room by all whom enter.
The "APPROXIMATE"
sized of this gem is 12-3/2" long, 7-1/4" Wide/Deep & 8-3/4" High.
This is a vintage radio & must be handled & cared for & treated in this manor & not like a modern day boombox. Tube radio technology "unlike modern day solid state radios" can have interference/noise in the sound quality, caused by kitchen appliances, computer monitors, flat screen TV'S, florescent lights, washing machines, high power wires above your home, etc... So where you position/place this radio in your home can make a huge difference & the direction/position it is set in. A lot of tube radios are directional meaning you "may" have to turn the radio one way or the other to receive the best reception. Tube radios take 30 to 45 seconds "for tubes" to warm up before they will start playing.
I have a few antique vintage radios & items listed on eBay at different times so you may want to take a peek now or in the future to see if there isn't anything else that you just can't live with or with out:-) To see other items click here
