In the late 50's my sisters owned it. I'm looking for another, no luck.
Any info on it appreciated.
Description:
Make General Electric
Case Small plastic
Color Red
In the front with the 4" speaker was a full metal grill with a checkerboard painted pattern.
On rh side both control knobs.
Back cover had loop antenna, and an interlock cord.
PC constrution, I think it was mounted in case at an angle.
5 tuber-ac-dc.
I can't even find any information on this set.
A number of years ago someone pointed me to an internet site. I lost link. It supposedly showed every model radio GE made. It didn't.
It was missing a console, a cathedral, and, my sisters' radio.
Can anyone help me find information on it?
Thanks.

Nope. Nice radio, but, that's not it.
It's smaller than that. Entire front has a painted metal grill painted in two color checkerboard.
Both knobs on rh side. Tunning knob has numbers on it. No dial. Just on the knob.

Try Google Image search - it's advanced mode lets you select what primary color to search - red, in your instance. Also, radios of the era were "Plaskon," "Styrene" or Bakelite. Try those variations as well.

If it's a 5 tube A-A, search on it's complement of tubes - 50C5, 50L6, 35W4, etc, or whatever it may have had. That might also turn up something.

Hope this helps,
