GE Model 220 Radio Saturday Evening Post - RF CafeWhen searching the Internet for examples of General Electric models 219, 220, and 221 tabletop radios, all I could come up with for the 219 is a picture from a Sam's Photofact sheet. A really nice GE model 220 is now for sale on eBay (see screenshots below). The phenolic cabinets were very nice, being a simulated wood grain pattern and color. A GE model 221 also happens to be for sale right now. The November 1946 issue of Radio News magazine had the schematic and parts list for the three radios, but no textual description. To the left is a full-page ad from a 1946 issue of The Saturday Evening Post magazine which included the GE model 220 tabletop radio. There are still many people who restore and service these vintage radios, and often it can be difficult or impossible to find schematics and/or tuning information. A comprehensive running list of all data sheets is included at the bottom.

Radio Service Data Sheets

These schematics, tuning instructions, and other data are reproduced from my collection of vintage radio and electronics magazines. As back in the era, similar schematic and service info was available for purchase from sources such as SAMS Photofacts, but these printings were a no-cost bonus for readers. There are 227 Radio Service Data Sheets as of December 28, 2020.
