Does this radio/phono exist?
#1

Here's the story: a close friend of mine is waxing nostalgic, and wants to find the radio she remembers from her childhood.  After listening to her description, and knowing her age, I showed her some possibilities, and she is certain the radio she had was a 49-1606.
According to her, she distinctly remembers the openings for the records, and the handle shape for the phono.
I thought I was home free, until she mentioned the phono played 45's, which rules out the 49-1606.
I looked through the gallery here, and couldn't find a later model that (a) looked like the 49-1606, and (b) had a 3 speed phono.
The 50-1720 was close, but she insists the albums were visible on their shelf without opening the phono door.

So... is her memory incorrect, or might there be such a radio as she remembers?

Thank you!
Ira
