This page is all about my Antique Console Tube Radio

Looking for any feedback at all about restoration on the cabinet.

General Electric E-106 10 Tube Radio

This was a gift from my brother back in 1990 and it did work. Needs a new plug and cord before I will use it. I will do this last of all. Hasn't been turned on since the day I got it just to see if it would work. It did work beautifully. The radio was on about 3 minutes or less. The light in the dial worked too.

Watermark On The Top

Quite a big spot !  Not sure if the whole veneer top will peel off with some heat or not.

BACK OF E-106

Looking At The Tubes In The Radio. There Are A Total Of 10 Tubes. They Are:6A8, 6F5, 6J7, 6K7, 6K7, 6K7, 6C5, 6L6, 6H6, & 5Z4. Looking For One Of Each Of These Tubes To Replace The Ones In The Radio.

GENERAL ELECTRIC STICKER INSIDE RADIO

This is a the sticker inside the back of the radio. It has no date of Manufacture but, was made in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

SPEAKER AND TRANSFORMER

The Speaker Is In Good Shape But, Not Sure If The Transformer Put Out What Its Suppose To. I Just Got A New Multimeter To Check Out The Circuts. I Also Just Purchased A Surperior TW-11 Tube Tester But, Hasn't Come In The Mail Yet.

THE GRILL CLOTH IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

Checking out the grill cloth its in great shape ! Being from 1938 there is no tears at all in this material. Not really sure if it was changed before we got it in 1990.

GENERAL ELECTRIC E-106 SCHEMATICS

This is a page I found of the wiring diagram of my E-106 radio. This does list all the tube numbers and is a great help.

 
   
 

I have to redo the picture size on a few of these photos cause the picture file is to big for the page.
