I just fixed a 4-transistor GE clock radio from around '68, one of the ones that uses a case that looks like the older tube sets. The oscillator was dead in mine and that was caused by a resistor in the converter that had way up in value and there were some bad electrolytic capacitors that were causing squealing. The radio now works fairly well, for a 4-transistor set.
GE liked using dropping resistors because I have a 1980 AM/FM with one; however, I have two early solid state ('64ish) GE's that have a power transformer.
