I should take a picture of this CGE set. I surfed quite a bit the other day, for information on this set, but to no avail. I don't really expect to have trouble when I go to re-cap it. I haven't taken the chassis out of the cabinet yet, 'cause I have several other projects on the fire. But, I'll bet that, when I get it going, it'll go like the wind.

I've found that many of the Canadian radios, particularly the RCA sets, had far finer cabinets than their USA counterparts. I think that the A-23 is a good example. I have a couple other Canadian RCA sets, whose model numbers escape me just now, and they're far nicer than their US counterpart.
