Bakelite?
#1

Hi all,

Is this bakelite? I came across this tabletop GE at a flea market over the weekend and -- though I don't usually focus on them -- caught my eye because of the condition of the case. I removed the chassis (really great condition) and polished up the case enough to post on here. I'm sure it's because of my lack of experience in the hobby, but I've not seen a regular bakelite case with this marble swirl. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Joe

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
