The General Electric radio models 645 (charcoal), 646 (red), 647 (green) and 648 (gray) are sharing the same Photofact and Beitman documentation - having the same schematic, chassis and case - but different colors. Tuning knobs, battery saver switch and handle are the same for 645 and 648 but different color to 646/647. On-off-volume knob and cabinet are all in different colors. The models have a selenium rectifier.
