What are the handles for?

The handles on the GE (and it's brothers from Panasonic) actually had a
very practical use. Those radios were somewhat prone to falling over
when bumped. The handles extended far enough to protect the knobs.
And the chrome handles made the radio look like a rack-mount
"professional" radio for an instant.
