This came with a bunch of other stuff I just got. I was about to toss it in the pile then noticed under the dust and dirt was a nice little radio. 1951-52 vintage, 5-tubes, AM, brown plastic. No cracks or chips, clock (and alarm) works perfectly, even the sweep hand. Radio hums...probably needs recapped and at least one BA6 (one no lighter). A bit dusty inside. With at least six radios needing one thing or another, I'll NEVER get to it. Anybody interested? You pay shipping.

Guide to Antique Radios (sixth edition) lists value at $45-50, which surprised me. I could snap/post a pic if a look is needed first. PM or respond.

It's yours Jimmy, if the total works for you. I use UPS daily and ground to that zip should be pretty cheap. I'd be surprised if the package weighs more than 6-7lb.

Will fire up UPS Worldship in the morning and post a total here.

Jimmy,

UPS Ground to your zip code (I estimated the package to weight six-pounds) is $4.53. What I suggest you do is send me your mailing address (remember, UPS doesn't deliver to P.O. boxes) and I'll ship the GE to you. After that, make a donation to AK for the shipping amount. It's good to give back to the forum that gives us so much.

Let me know-
