G-500 is in the house!!!!

Incredible cosmetic condition, suction cups are there, WaveMagnet and connecting wire is perfect, WaveRod telescoping antenna is unbent and clip works, Operating Manual, schematic, parts list and alignment instructions, everything. The seller remembered his dad buying it new!

Audio is terrific on the am band, picks up tons of stations, but nothing on the sw bands, so it's not perfect.

But, for $100, it's a keeper for sure.

According to Bryant & Cones, the G-500 was made from 1950-51.

It will be joining my H-500, and B-600L, which has the genuine leather cover, and was the last tube TO made, running from 1959-62.
