Just got a 49-1613 need to know...everything!
#7

According to the gallery, it has an AM/FM radio, with a two speed phonograph, the 78 side is an automatic changer, the 33 1/3 side is manual, having both FM and able to play 33 1/3 LP records makes it a little more useful then a set with a 78 only changer. The radio section also has 11 tubes so it probably has a decent amp in the chassis, likely 6V6s in push pull, though 6K6s would be acceptable too. Most of those units don't have much of a following, that layout seems to have been the default one for radio-phono combo units from just after the war until the late 1950s, when the coffin style ones became more standard with stereo becoming popular. If it were a 6 or 7 tube one I would suggest dumping it, but the higher tube count makes it worth playing with I think.
Regards
Arran

Yeah, always wondered why they call them spirits "odorless". It sure enough smell like a gas station.morzh — 10:10 AM

No, it did not use photo-finish. It is veneer with the shading on the front of changing darkness.morzh — 07:52 AM
