1951 General Electric 422 Table Radio

I found this in the landfill, while dropping off some junk computer equipment. This is an all-original 1951 GE 422 table radio, with marbleized "Congo Brown" plastic housing. This is an AM-only set, and after a good clean-up, looks incredible. Like all radios of this vintage, it will require all new caps (faulty filter capacitor is causing the hum. Operating a set with failing capacitors is dangerous to you, and the set itself. I cleaned the plastic with windex, a dishcloth, toothbrush, and "polished" it with armor-all. I cleaned the chassis with a WD-40 soaked rag.
