Grand daddy GE- 155 (Cabinet done)
#1

Picked up this beautiful GE e-155 at Sargent's auction, large 15 inch speaker with 2 6l6,s for power. Chromacolor  tuning will look fabulous when powered up in dark room. I will post the restore with pictures as time allows, would like to finish before Halloween. Icon_redface I was fortunate to find out the speaker had be reconed recently and all the caps , resestors, have be replaced. Was never finished and still needs work to play properly. Cabinet is tight and the book matched veneer is absolutely great condition. This radio will be a powerful statement of General Electrics sound quality, style , one of GE,s nicest cabinet designs of 1936.
