The Glade 4.0

When watching this radio in operation, one must have thought that the "future" was here,....in 1938! Even though the GE Model G-106 is a standard, 10 tube chassis with P-P 6V6s in the audio, driving a 12" speaker, it is its incredible automatic operation that truely makes it an impressive radio. Using 96 preset switches which can select 6 different station adjustable presets and a clock-timer, this receiver can turn itself on, motor-drive to any one of the 6 selected stations, play the program (time duration is setable in 15 minute increments up to a total of 24 hours), when that program is finished, motor-drive to the next selected station/program (any of the 6) and, when finished with the entire pre-programed cycle, turn itself off. Actually, number six selector determines the station selected by "sensing" which of the 13 push-button station selectors is engaged. One can use the push-buttons for manual (motor-driven) selection also. Certainly, the G-106 was designed to amaze the radio enthusiast's friends.
