The one that I have restored and the one that I am working on now do not have instant on. I do remember GE having this in the 1960s.
On thing I did notice is that the 1958 versions have plated solid metal channel/volume knobs while the 1959 version that I just finished has painted channel/volume knobs that are 1/2 plastic. The 1/2 plastic tuner knob on the 1959 one is cracked. I glued it, but am not sure how well this will work. Manufacturers have always tried to cut costs.
