Well now, here I am. If you're not going to spring for it, somebody is going to nget a mighty fine radio-phono combination.
Yes, there were a lot of them sold, because it was one of the finest radios of the 1929 model year. That's why there are still a few surviving. From the picture, the cabinet looks like it's nice, and here's hopes that it'as nice as it seems to be. These sets were in wide use through WW II, and some time after. When I was in my teens, it was sort of a holy grail to me, and I was in my glory when I finally found one. The audio in them was far ahead of its time.
Like most consoles, it weighs a lot more than a little squawky plastic table (top) radio. The price could go as high as about $150, but anything below that would be a good deal.
