Thanks Klondike98, OldRestorer and the others that have responded to my queries. Now for the third round; the turntable motor runs but all of the electronic components are missing. If it has very little value or would cost an arm and a leg to restore, I'm going to turn it into (I hate write this) a modern audio system.

There isn't much to the electronics, just 2 tubes. These were not full phonographs with amp and speakers, they were designed to play a record and "broadcast" it wirelessly to a radio in the same room.
Cheers,
Bob
