THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
Starting in 1890, there were rival companies competing with Thomas Edison trying to find the commercial and social applications of electricity. In 1892, with financing from J.P. Morgan, Edison and another company formed the General Electric Company of Schenectady NY. In 1919, GE founded RCA and AT&T, furthering the development of radio all over the world. The F-63 is a six-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. This table radio was the top seller for GE in 1937. The unique dial has separate band, volume and tone pointers, and a gorgeous Art Deco cabinet. Blake replaced all of the capacitors, checked the tubes and resistors, replacing where necessary. A safety fuse, power cord, external audio cable and new antenna lead were installed. Gary stripped the walnut cabinet, repainted the black body lines and finished with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. A period-correct reproduction grille cloth was installed. This is one of my favorite GE radios, and they are very hard to find! This unique Art Deco design, great performing radio is ready for your collection! 17-1/2"W x 9"H x 8"D. |
