GE 200
#1

Forgive the lack of photos hopefully to follow. I bot a GE 200 off the bay. Looked good. Arrived and the box was rattling o I was a bit nervous. It arrived OK, dial glass was loose and I cleaned it up a bit. Tubes look like 4 non original so maybe they are all good. The slant chassis is cool and with 6 tubes probably play OK. I have been warned about how sensitive the dial glass numbering is and despite my most gentle attempts at cleanup the General Electric words got blurred.The Raio Museum warns do not touch letters, i was using slightly damp towel just around them and just so lightly touched them they start to melt. So I warn you all if your ever get one of these just clean around the numerals and print. Resist. I can get a repro if I want, we'll see. 

kudos to GE, it is nice to have a slip connector on the antenna back as opposed to hard wiring, easy to slip out. Looks like a good player and despite the glass issue I will get this to play safely, GE did a good job on this little guy.

If you had one of these appreciate your thoughts.
