Early 1990s GE Cathedral Replica Radio

[crooner]

Got one of these today in mint condition. Beautiful little cathedral. The best reproduction made IMHO. The cabinet has a rich walnut veneer finish that's very attractive looking.

The radio inside is rather small, but performs quite well.

Perfect for hours and hours of OTR shows with no fear of wearing out those expensive globe tubes!

I am broadcasting an AM signal using my "Radio DJ" transmitter on 1500 kHz, using MP3 OTR programs as the source.

The sound is not comparable to my mighty original Philco 70 cathedral (shown on the left), but is not bad and it does have a nice vintage "recreated" sound to it.

Leyend has it, that the GE was designed with the intent to replicate the original sound as well.

It appears that much of the money was put on the cabinet, grille and real metal escutcheon. They certainly look attractive.

My unit doesn't look at all like a 15 year old radio. I wonder how Philco 70 radios looked in 1946, 15 years after they were made....
