General Electric 7-2990A AM/FM Short Wave Radio Vintage WORKS WITH ISSUES READ
This eBay listing is for a vintage/used General Electric GE model 7-2990A AM/FM/Short Wave radio that comes as you see pictured in the listing and noted above. I just tested this out in my basement office and was able to tune in AM and FM local stations just fine but when I went to change the station to the higher range, the needle seemed to get stuck right around 101-102 FM range and I can’t seem to get it off from that area now. I even tried AM and all of the Short Wave settings and the needle won’t turn even though the knob is turning fine…sorta like it’s stuck now in that position. I did have it working until I started to play around with the radio and now it’s no longer working. The radio does need a good cleaning. The antenna on top is broken off as well.
