I see in the GE model list they made a T 12 and also a T 12 D. I was surprised to see that the 4 tubes are completely different between them. I have a T 12 C, it looks identical to the T 12 pictures. Would it be worth posting the pictures and this model variation? I wonder if the T 12 C tubes are different as well. My dad was restoring it at one time but has replaced the original tubes with probably what he had on hand at the time. If I restore this should I replace the tubes he installed with the originals? Also the collector prices listed are they for working/ restored radios?
