NJARC'ers,

Here is a table top mid to late 1930's, perhaps very early 40's - but most 
likely 30's, GE radio-phono. It looks sort of Deco with a square right 
corner and a nice curved left corner with horizontal louvers, where the 
speaker is.  It has a 78 phono under the top lid. There is some vernier 
damage (about 1 sq. inch) and some scuffing to the cabinet. [ Get Jeff to 
email you a photo, as I can't send it through this list. ]

The interesting thing to me is the phono pick-up arm, it's very art-deco. 
It looks like any arm, but it has a hockey-puck shaped and sized pick-up 
end on it, and some vertical striping down the arm.  Neat!

The radio has 6 push-buttons with space for the station labels. These look 
intact.  The dial has two large vertical knobs, one on either side. (I've 
seen a GE table radio with the same dial.)

If anyone is interested, please email Jeff directly.  See top of message or
