Vintage GENERAL ELECTRIC GE P895G POCKET AM RADIO 6 TRANSISTOR Reed Speaker

Ebay Listing Fine Print -->Price lowered 11/19NICE OLD RARE GE POCKET RADIO WORKS, but THE SPEAKER IS NOT VERY LOUD if you turn it up all the way you can hear it but not overly loud. IT HAS A VERY ODD SPEAKER S (info on line as below called it a reed speaker) looks like maybe it had some black foam on it that deteriorated EARPHONE JACK WORKS TOO. Takes 2 AA batteries as noted on back cover (the drawing in the radio is a little confusing but bascially one goes on top and one on bottom each with + facing to right, the drawing makes it look like 2 small ones on top and shows carbon and mercury but apparently was drawn in error, or the factory put in the wrong drawing, since the back cover says 2 (regular) AA penlight cells) Here is some info we found on the web: Country: .radiomuseum org/cy/only_united states ">United States of America (USA) Manufacturer / Brand: General Electric Co.

PLACE HIGH BID EARLY or buy now (if available). MOST OUTBIDDING IS DONE IN THE LAST MINUTE! SEE OUR OTHER AUCTIONS AND STORE —THERE MAY BE MORE, OR DEALS YOU DID NOT THINK TO LOOK FOR! QUESTIONS: Ask all questions early: we are sometimes out of town a few days at a time and many weekends. We usually answer emails within a few days, often the same day, but NOT ALWAYS, so if you are the impatient "instant messaging/demanding" type of bidder, please do not bid. SHIPPING POLICY: - COST : Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab on this page and enter your zip code to find shipping cost or options available for this auction. - SHIPPING CHARGES are NOT NEGOTIABLE AFTER YOU BID (OR on ANY "Best Offer"). We generally use only the shipping options shown, do not bid and then ask us to change the price or method. - We do NOT use COD, 3rd party, or bill to account numbers. We do NOT have access to FedEX. - UPS is insured and trackable along the way. - US postal is not as easily trackable- generally shows pickup and delivery only. SHIPPING ARRIVAL TIMES: - We generally ship items within 1 - 5 business days depending on our schedule, then it takes an additional 2-6 BUSINESS DAYS in TRANSIT depending on your location, so it may take 1-2 weeks before your item arrives. If you need it faster, ASK PRIOR TO BIDDING if we can accommodate your time frame so you are not disappointed if it takes longer than you think it should. We do not accept returns because of "item no longer needed," "took longer than expected," etc. SHIP TO ADDRESS will be to Ebay/PayPal listed buyer address ONLY. We do NOT send to a different address. If you want it sent elsewhere, you must add another address to your PayPal shipping address and then select it when paying for the item. It is buyer's responsibility to ensure your address is up to date prior to bidding. Incorrect address, multiple addresses, change of address, failure to sign for package, causing reshipping/re-routing will be at the buyer's expense. PO#S, ATTN, ETC: - We do not put PO #s, ATTN, or special notations on packages. If you need that, please add it to your PayPal address before paying so it prints on your label automatically (You can then delete it after paying for the item). COMBINED SHIPPING: - Large items generally not offered unless you ask before bidding / small items: enter quantity desired in shipping calculator for multiples of same item. Otherwise ask BEFORE bidding as sometimes the shipping calculator goes crazy on listings when you type in multiple quantities due to unknown packaging factors or the inability to figure cheapest way in one box. Contact us with the zip code if the shipping price does not reduce for quantity before bidding. TRACKING NUMBERS: - NOT AVAILABLE for UPS UNLESS PACKAGE IS LATE. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR THEM UNLESS IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK SINCE YOU PAID. We use a packing/shipping company and are not setup to get or email tracking numbers automatically, but will do so only if the package is LATE (over 6 BUSINESS days after shipping). INTERNATIONAL: If international option is not shown on the item you desire, please contact us before bidding and we may be able to add that option for you, so you can see the shipping fees before you bid. - NOTE: INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS TAKE LONGER, SOMETIMES 2-4 WEEKS, CHECK ESTIMATE ON CALCULATOR BEFORE BIDDING - DO NOT BID IF IN A RUSH-. If International priority Envelope is listed as a cheaper shipping option (for small items), we may not be able to include all the original box or packaging to fit, so if you need the outer box or packing shown in picture, contact us FIRST. - DUTIES: Any duty, tariffs, taxes, brokerages, or any other fee added at your end are sole responsibility of the buyer. We do not declare false values, which would violate Ebay policy. - CANADA buyers note, UPS CANADA adds duty or brokerage fees, please check with your UPS prior to bidding, as you must pay these fees directly to UPS to receive your item. We do not set, get involved with, negotiate, or pay these fees ever. Do not bid if unsure.

Back to Top--> Corona update: We are working hard to ship most items out within one business day (ignore longer ebay estimated time). Due to having only one person in the building, items are being shipped directly from sold page notification, not ebay messages which may take longer to respond to. Therefore we are not able to respond to cancellation requests. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER AND THEN ASK TO CANCEL! Your order ships when paid. Also there are no returns (other than if an item is damaged in shipping) Thank You.
