The 1947 comb. I have is in a really plain Jane cabinet.
Has two half doors on front. One covers 3 band radio, and, other 12" tv.
I don't remember seeing that other switch on my fathers' but, it's possible. This one seems to also lack it, but, does have the solonoid on the 2 speed Webster changer.
Due to major cartridge replacing problems I'm considering changing the changer to a single 78 Webster Maggie changer. Would that be wrong to do? What are the chances of finding the model my father had at an affordable price?
Maybe a trade?
Information please on something else...
I have another 1946 model in a single book case style cabinet. A single half door in front covers 3 band radio with eye tube, and, single chassis with a pair of 6L6 output tubes. Don't remember chassis number. Other "door" pulls out to reveal the Maggie Webster 78 changer.
I'r re building this set. It had been dammaged by rats, but, is not ruinnned. They did destroy the changer, but, I have correct replacement for it.
That one has 2 12" speakers.
Cabinet has two shelves. One with a leather pad insert, other top of case. Metal grills in front of speakers.
It's rough, but, once, I had radio playing, and, audio was excellent.
I have to put new electrolytics in it. I had replaced paper caps 25 years ago.
