Well, I opened up the GE today. It looks quite good inside. I have the four electrolytic caps for it. I think this radio has never been opened before. I did find that when I tried to pull off the volume knob it had been glued in place. It must have broken some time ago and been glued on. Needless to say the knob is broken and I will have to find a replacement. Does anyone have a spare? The volume knob is not the same as the tuning knob. The volume knob fits the smaller D shaped shaft since it has a concentric tone control. The set should clean up just fine and is in good condition otherwise. It really represents the quality that once went into these things.
