General Electric Trimline 600
#6

So is calling it portable. Lug-able might be a better term. It definitely still needs work though. The stereo FM isn't working, at least I can't hear any difference switching between mono and stereo FM settings. Also after about 10 minutes the FM gets somewhat distorted and the dial cord slips at the center of the dial. So, back to the $5 RCA SS3000 for vintage stereo listening. That thing has been a reliable workhorse since I cleaned it up and it's from the same year range as the GE. Seems odd the thing I bought cheap on a whim works better than the GE which I had been looking for and bought for $25. Still wish I could find the Zenith tube stereo portable.

No matter where you go, there you are.
