I spotted this on an App I downloaded on my iPad, called "LetGo". I had bought an early 1920s Emerson 12" 3 speed oscillating fan on New Year's Eve, and since then, I check it regularly.
I spotted this and thought, "Oh no, I need another console like I need another hole in the head. Besides, I don't have room for it."
I posted the pic on the Facebook Radio Groups, and everyone said "Get it!", "It's rare!" 
. I contacted the seller and he was kind enough to send more pics. 
After some research, I found there was mention of only 2-3 of these mentioned on the Forums, Including Skip's from 2013. I decided as rare as it was, it warranted picking it up. I picked it up on February 28, 2017. The seller was very pleasant and friendly, even offering me some records from his vast collection, but I politely refused, as I have quite the collection myself! My parents are graciously housing it in their living room until I finish a restoration on a 1951 pinball machine for a client. Once that is done, and out of my shop, This will be coming home!
Some discussion has been stirring recently over this unit on Skip's thread here on the Phorum, so I decided to drop by my parents and get some more photos and inspect it a bit more. I have lots of pics, and will present my findings here. Once it's home, and I start the restoration process, I'll be sure to document it in the restoration sections.
So, here we go:
This unit, to the best of my knowledge at the time of picking it up, was complete . The seller told me he used to listen to his records on it some years ago.

It stands a full 48" tall with the lid closed. I'm 5'11" (6' with shoes on) so you get a good idea of its size with me standing by it.
