Vintage General Electric AM/FM tabletop tube radio model T-200A featuring a classic simulated woodgrain cabinet, woven speaker grille, and retro analog tuning display. This mid-century electronic collectible captures the warm styling and craftsmanship of vintage home radios from the golden era of American consumer electronics, making it an attractive display piece for collectors, décor enthusiasts, and vintage audio fans.
This radio appears pre-owned with visible age-related wear throughout. The cabinet shows scuffs, scratches, edge wear, finish wear, and general cosmetic aging consistent with decades of storage and use. The woven speaker grille displays discoloration and wear, while the rear panel labels exhibit aging and tearing. The original power cord remains attached. Operational status has not been tested, so functionality is unknown and should be assumed untested.
The front tuning panel features AM and FM analog frequency scales along with original control knobs labeled for volume, tuning, and band functions. The cabinet’s rectangular profile and elevated base design reflect the clean lines commonly associated with mid-century home electronics. Rear markings identify the model as a General Electric T-200A Mahogany/Cherry variant manufactured in Utica, New York.
