Some more table radios in my collection

A few more radios.



Top Radio: GE AA5 Dual speaker radio
Middle: RCA Victor AM/FM radio. (Sticker on front reads "Works Fine", although it needed a new filter capacitor and the dial string rewound)
Bottom: Zenith AM/FM Radio (sold with no sound, was only a partially disconnected speaker)



A small Zenith AA5 table radio, still needs a bit of cosmetic work.

The Zenith actually did work fine, after I reattached the speaker to the output transformer.

"Works fine" usually means that the pilot light lights up. Not that it would actually operate as it did when it first left the factory...

Not too sure.

On the RCA, the 19X8 socket needs a bit of cleaning, the tube doesn't always seem to make contact.
