A 1940’s General Electronic (not to be confused with General Electric, and is a wholly separate company from General Electric) shortwave receiver.

The shortwave dial lists the BBC Daventry, CBS Wayne, New Jersey and Brentwood, New York, NBC Bound Brook, New Jersey; GE Schenectady, New York; Westinghouse WBOS-SW and W8XK, Philips Huizen, Netherlands; and the Allouis, France shortwave transmitter sites.

The mediumwave dials lists mediumwave stations from Wales, Dublin, Munich, BBC Light Program, Hilversum, Netherlands; Prague, Stuttgart; and many more locations throughout Europe.

As you may be aware if you’ve been following this blog, I would have loved to be on this planet during this shortwave receiver’s time and when these shortwave stations were around. Only I couldn’t stand people on average, dressing to the nines and the hairstyles that were around at the time.
