1948 Magnavox "Berkeley" Just Acquired!
#1

Greetings everyone, I just picked up yesterday a 1948 Magnavox "Berkeley" Model 134B and the cabinet is in mostly good condition (it has some dings and chips in the Mahogany cabinet) and it has all of the original Ken-Rad branded tubes in the radio (date codes on the tubes are mid 1947 and early 1948 which would be consistent with the radio being a 1948 model year unit) it also has its original 2-speed (33 1/3 and 78 RPM) record changer yet too. 

I need repair the turntable audio cable as the original turntable audio cable was replaced at one point in time and they plugged it into the FM Tuner's audio plug input for some reason. 

I would like to see if I could get the optional FM Tuner Assembly to install in my unit but I'm not sure where or how I would locate one of those.

See pictures below.
