Description

The General Electric P780 family of early transistor radios is the focus of this group. Produced from 1959 until the late 1960s, these are considered some of the best consumer-grade portables ever made in terms of reception, sound and build quality.
General discussion about collecting, aligning, and restoring these vintage radios is encouraged. Messages regarding the entire family of P780 derived receivers, including but not limited to the P780 models A-H, the P783 and the P865 are considered on-topic. In general, posts about GE "Superadios" are discouraged as they have their own groups. An exception would be when comparing these (admittedly similar) radios with P780s.
Commercial posts dealing strictly with P780s and related services will be allowed.

P780B Tuning Knob Needed
I just picked up a very nice P780 B version. It looks and plays great, but the tuning knob has a chip on the edge. Anyone have a parts set with a good knob?
