BlahBlah's GE

[skippy1969]

I bought this General Electric 3-5286A from BlahBlah for a song last week,it is very very nice.
My friend had one of these back in High School, and I always liked it.
I had one of these a few years ago,and stupidly sold it to Ira. I regretted it,but I needed the money,but Tim gave me another chance to own a nice one.
I took it all apart and totally detailed it,changed the belts serviced the cassette,cleaned the pots and switches.It works and sounds great,but the tuner is overly sensitive to the point of being annoying. Any ideas?
Thanks for a real beauty Tim,you are the man!

That radio is beautiful and hopefully our local genius Norm will have some input

That's a sweet box... Love the minty tint on the tuner dial.

Congratulations, Skippy!

I agree with MONO. That's a real looker.

Nice one Skippy, glad you picked it up.
I was very tempted by this sweet box when he first put it up for sale.

It sounds good,but not as good as the Blockbuster or the 6035. (IMHO).

 

[blah blah]

Not as much sound...it's nice but not as powerful....

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Haven't heard any of those models... At least it looks great!
