I think that GE, more than anyone else, got a radio chassis down to the bare bones. Some of the GE AA5's I've seen (from the late50s/60s) are super simple. Probably would have cost the General more to tie the 2 chassis' together than to just keep them seperate. So the General made its own radios, its own tubes, its own clocks, heck, they were/are big in plastics so maybe they made the cabinet in house-pretty easy for them to just slap the whole shebang together. They could have added a toaster oven so you could warm up your pizza rolls while you were watching Laugh-In!
