    Are there any of these 20-tube monsters about?

One seldom sees the larger sets from GE. The 208 was the phonograph job.

Touted as a "True Fidelity All-Wave Radio", they had 6 (yes, 6) 6F6's in PPP output.

BTW, if anyone needs info, I have the factory service manual set covering all GE radios from 1930 to 1939.
