Hi there! this is my first time posting. I recently picked up this Ford-Philco Console record player and radio at a yard sale. The seller didn't think it worked so I paid 25 USD. I brought it home and realized he had the mode selector on Tape, which this model does not have a tape player attached, so I have it working perfect. I'm just looking for any information on the unit. I searched the patents and saw one published in 1976 which leads me to believe this is a 1977 model. The seller's dad worked at Ford and when the father purchased a new Lincoln, this was included as a promotional item. Thank you in advanced! I also have no clue how to utilize the automatic spindle that is included which supposedly lets you load up to 6, 12in records at a time. Currently the manual play spindle is attached and even after reading the manual wasn't able to figure out how to change spindles.

Ps: I am in love with it and have no plans of trying to resell it. Just looking for maybe more info, model name and maybe a current value. Thanks!
