I found this General Electric clock radio at the flea market for only 2.00. It was very dirty and greasy inside and out but it did play. The cabinet had a non visible crack on the bottom and also a lever for the clock attached to a plastic shaft at the top of the inside of the radio was broke. This was easily fixed with plastic glue, and I took the radio completely apart and cleaned it thoroughly inside and out. The radio plays exceptionally well, and does not need any caps or electrolytics replaced. They all check good and it does not have the paper capacitors it has the better quality capacitors. The station you first hear at the beginning of the video is station WCCO in Minneapolis Mn., which is about 450 miles away. It really pulls in the distant stations. It has unique 1950's modern styling, the clock was cleaned and oiled and works fine. Not a bad radio for only 2.00, and only needing cleaning and a little plastic glue. This GE was a little work, but I have other flea market radio and record players that need more work, and I will post those after I order the parts and get them repaired.
