Vertical shirtpocket transistor. High impedance speaker with reed suspended between 2 pole pieces, drives paper cone with a stylus, and is directly driven in push-pull by a pair of collectors, without an audio output transformer. One of several contemporary GE transistor radio models to employ this kind of speaker which was originally used in the 1920's because of it's high efficiency and high impedance. Has earphone socket at back cabinet and comes with leather case. Identical with P995A.
Made in USA. AM only. Civil Defense marks on station dial even though US requirement for the marks ended in 1963.
