I'm posting a couple pictures of a Brunswick console a friend found in an 'antique' shop. He saved it from the fate of being gutted and turned into a decorative cabinet as I guess this shop specializes in that type of thing. This radio hadn't sold and was actually sitting in the work area awaiting its fate when he found it. This uses a Radiola 60 chassis inside with a heavy looking speaker that is powered by it's own separate power chassis. Not sure if that amplifies things more or just powers the speaker. Looks like it should boost something. I wasn't able to pull it away from the wall enough to get a look at the tag, but I noticed this unit has no phonograph, nor does it look like it ever had one. No room that I can see. I never have seen an early Brunswick console without the Panatrope in it somewhere. Did they actually build some without this? This is the radio I might get in the possible trade for the Stromberg-Carlson.
No matter where you go, there you are.
