I saw a 1965 combo color set (CA chassis) with the same tuner (stereo version) that had a transitor amp and 16-ohm speakers.
Didn't GE start using their own record changers in the later 1960s?
I bought a GE stereo at an estate sale. Last day, everything half price or best offer.
IIRC, it has a 7189 SE amp. The AM-FM tuner is rather impressive with nine tubes.
They also had a large impressive Magnavox solid state stereo. A younger man bought it for his parents. It looked like one, that had horn tweeters and 15" base speakers. Rather pricey, when new in excellent condition. $20.00
