Grebe Tombstone
#1

Hey Everyone,
I am in the process of restoring a Grebe tombstone, beautiful veneers and moldings on the front and it says Synchrophase on the dial.
I had Don Patterson (Wizard of Ohms) restore the chassis for me and we never found a model number or a schematic. Don just performed his wizardry on the darn thing and got it playing beautifully.
Don had knowledge of Grebe and knew that after he passed on, Garod picked up a great deal of the work, and carried on from there. There is a lot more details about this, but we can save that for later or another thread.
I bought it because it was so pretty and I was amazed that it said Synchrophase. I have only known that to be on the MU series and others, but never on a tombstone set.
Anyway, I will be selling it after I finish the restoration, and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of this, I want to add as much about the set as I can to the description.

Thank you,
Kenneth
