The list of my radio & TV collection!

Peter, a nice looking pair, and the Marshon caps are a great look! I have the same GE set, only mine has 47s in push pull instead of the 45s. As you know both of your sets were built by RCA Victor. From the birth of broadcast radio till about 1930, RCA sold radios built by GE and Westinghouse. When RCA bought the Victor Talking Machine company in late 1929, Victor was already building radios and radio / phonos. As a result of a 1930 Antitrust lawsuit, RCA became independent of GE and Westinghouse, and RCA Victor built all rados for GE and Westinghouse in addition to their own radios till about 1935. In Fact, the GE and Westinghouse stickers are quite possibly laid over the original RCA sticker. The inside of both the Westinghouse and GE sets should have a sticker that states "This set is designed to use RCA Radiotrons". The chassis and speaker are the same, only the case is different.
