Another GE Transistor Radio
#4

I don't think there is any issue talking about the older transistor radios on here. When I tried to get into transistor radios years ago, there was really no support for repairing them. The BIG money transistor radios were the Japanese ones and people usually just bought them to sit on a shelf and look pretty. Now that I have a few working, US built units (one restored), I think there is room to discuss them here. Actually, I think the US built radios have been ignored long enough as far as transistor radios go. Only the Zenith 500 series was popular when I tried 20 years ago, though rightfully so. Good radios when restored. Now, if only I could find some more units at the antique shops. Transistor radios have always been hard to find around here.

No matter where you go, there you are.
