The 1958 Fords had radios with 12 volt tubes and a 2-transistor power
amplifier. The transistors were 2N256's or thereabouts. If you looked
them up in the GE transistor manual, their high frequency cutoff was
like 4Kc ! Not Mhz or GHz, KHz!


Hi...

But for those of us who were able to order them with the incredibly
expensive optional radio, they sure sounded good to us

Take care.

AM radio doesnt go that high anyway. There still would have been output
above 4kHz, and preemphasis is not so hard.

Worst Ge spec I ever saw was 2kHz ft. Not for audio.
