That is what I find kinda ironic about these GE radios. Basically, they were (and still often are) seen as technically inferior to other offerings of the time. Especially the stripped down J models. Yet, it seems these are more often found in working condition than their 'superior' Japanese and other US counterparts. Not saying they don't need a capacitor or two, but there seems to be a good chance that they can be coaxed to play even before any repairs take place.
No matter where you go, there you are.
