I am looking for information on an antique General Electric radio. It
is wood, round (about 13" in diameter) and is on a pivot base. It is
AM & Shortwave. It has a green tuning eye on the top. On the metal tag
it has General Electric, Westinghouse Electric and Hazeltine
Corporation although the GE emblem is on the front of the radio face.
It appears to be model 25-132130.

I am looking to find out what the original knobs looked like. Also it
would be nice to find a picture and date of build so that I can see
that mine has not been reworked.

What kind of information are you seeking? Do you want to buy such a
radio, or sell one, or repair one, or something else?

I need to get original or at least find out what the original knobs
looked like because I am restoring one.

You might want to look through an issue of "Antique Radio Classified,"
a national publication for buyers and sellers of old radios and
related items. A free sample issue can be ordered here:

Another good source of information is the rec.antiques.radio+phono newsgroup:

Your local area may have a club for collectors of antique radios. Such
collectors are often very knowledgeable and helpful. There are many
links providing information about such clubs here:
