Here is a beautiful & coveted Gothic GE cathedral. It is an eight-tube early Super-het. I always thought the slender/tall appearance set it apart from others of that era. This one maintains original finish with that factory light contrasting toning showing very little wear (esp. for a 93 yr. old radio). The speaker cloth, floral knobs, 10-inch speaker, dial, escutcheon, etc. are all factory original as well as factory sticker. Chassis is rust-free as well. The set was recently restored, replacing all caps, tubes where needed & same for resistors that were out of tolerance. It plays very well across the dial with the short attached wire antenna. Just a very nice radio for play/display. Overall, I think it is one of the nicest examples of the GE J-80 you are likely to see. It is heavy & large, but I pack very well in new over-sized heavy duty box, using all new large bubble/padding filling all voids in box. 19"H x 14"W x 10-1/2"D. $629.00. (1640328)
