Capehart Radio
#3

Music, Thanks for your post. You are right about these old Capehart rigs being a high dollar set back in the day even before I was born. I'm a 1937 model but the Model 101 I brought home seems to be a 1931/32 model. It does work, including the incorrect record changer, and the cabinet is in pretty good shape. Nor perfect but still nice. I was glad that you brought up the problems loading your pictures on the Phorum. I have some pictures loaded on Photobucket but I could not figure out how to get them on the Phorum. I feel like a real computer dummy. Maybe when Ron gets help for you we will both be smarter. I bought the book The Incomparable Capehart for $40.00 , and while a good book , it did not tell me much about the Model 101. It does cover the record changers very well but not much about my model. The Model 101 was upgraded in 1934, and mine appears to be an upgraded model but that is about all I know. I would still love to find a schametic. I would also love to have the correct changer but I doen't expect that will happen unless I save up a lot of money and get lucky. I have seen two changers for over $200.00 and they were in as is condition. Maybe pictures will come soon.
