SUPER 1946 GENERAL TV & RADIO #5A5  RADIO - CUSTOM SMOKEY-SWIRL THREE TONE PAINT - PLAYS WELL

Another great looking piece from my personal collection - a rare, cool little radio from General Television and Radio (sold by BF Goodrich). I think this is model 5A5. This beauty was professionally custom painted with a fine three-tone color scheme and smoky swirls to give a unique, high-polish, multi-dimensional finish. (Due to the unfortunate passing of the artist, Dan of Customradios, there won't be any more of these type of radio finishes being produced.)

Recapped and playing well with great strong sound.

ITEM: GENERAL TELEVISION & RADIO

CONDITION NOTES: 

No cracks, chips, or breaks. All knobs and handle original and functioning. New reproduction radio back in excellent condition. 

The chassis has been recapped and the radio plays well with strong volume and good sensitivity receiving stations across the dial in my city area using only the built in loop antenna lead in the back.
