Philco Model 249 made in England
#10

It looks like it may have a stereo amplifier, at least for the phonograph section, likely EL84s/6BQ5s, or the series string equivalents. I could not find a listing for this model number but I think it's probably from the early 60s as there were other British Philco sets with similar black slide rule dials. Other then the cabinet damage, due to the particleboard ends getting water damaged, it looks pretty complete, fortunately it looks like the top and the bottom are made out of something else, either boards or plywood, the cabinet probably had screw on legs at one time, either metal or wood.
I think if I would have found it I would have taken it home too, and try fixing it up, Garrards were common enough record changers that you can still find NOS parts for them, the rest is going to be the usual things, capacitors, resistors, and tubes, assuming the coils and transformers are still good. The tubes are going to be common types from that era.
Regards
Arran

Thanks for the information MrFixr55.   It's tube amplification and not solid state. TOMfklown — 11:27 AM
