Those plastic-in-wood GE radios may have been made that way on purpose -- to fool people into believing they were buying a top-line radio in a wood cabinet. I seriously doubt, however, that the "wood" cabinets were real wood. On the off chance they actually were wood cabinets (not particle board with a woodgrain overlay), I seriously doubt as well that GE put the plastic radio chassis in a cabinet made of expensive, fine wood such as mahogany, cherry, et al. These were obviously cheaply built radios meant to sell at dirt-cheap prices, so I would expect the cabinet to be every bit as cheap as the plastic chassis inside.
