Thanks, Gentlemen. I think Wallace may have hit on it....that sure looks like the one. I'll pass the info on to the owner and see if he can verify.

Hmm that's interesting. At 1st I thought it might be a Columaire but the pic I saw had the radio knobs on the right side not on the front.

There are two versions Terry, the bigger one has larger chassis' and controls on the side, while this one has a single smaller chassis and controls on the front.

Learned something new! Have seen a few in person but just didn't remember the differences. Chassis looks like a Radiola 80.
