| The 1937 General Electric model F-40 is an unusual radio in several respects. It features a nearly cubical, brown Bakelite cabinet with white Plaskon trim. The chassis is mounted vertically, and, like many GE Bakelite radios of the era, the back was also Bakelite, and was an integrated part of the overall design. The circuit is also quite unusual. The set uses only four tubes, but the IF and AF amplifier functions are performed by the same tube in a reflex circuit. The performance was equal to a normal, 5-tube set. It was an AC-only set, and is quite heavy for its size (10 inches wide). It's original list price was $19.95. |
