Just picked up an identical unit on Saturday. Will need some work, especially the cabinet which looks like a dog was hungry for the edges. What a miracle this Restorafinish stuff is. At least it hides the missing mahogany color. I know it is working since the guy I bought it from powered it up and I heard an AM station. The RC has been changed from the original to a Webcor (can't find the model #). I'm thinking that this was a change out by the dealer since a matching motor board is installed. Never seen this changer before. It has a revolving platform for the 3 sizes of records which holds them up and then pushes one off. Has auto shutoff too and 3 speed. As I recall, WC made the first changers Maggie used, and Webcor followed WC. Has an old EV38 cartridge which still works. I'm really anxious to get this thing powered up and see what it sounds like on records. Would love to get a hold of one of their FM tuners to put on the shelf below the main radio chassis. I used to have one of their old consoles which actually had that separate FM tuner, but it is long gone after getting rid of nearly everything in IL to move to TX 4 years ago. Will hope to post some pictures of this as I get it restored. Grille cloth missing completely from right side, so will replace both sides with something from probably Antique supply out in AZ.
