I have a giant 6ft long Grundig Console, it has phono and a reel to reel. The buttons read TR, PU, FA, BC, SW1, SWII and FM
I've been scouring the internet for days...with no luck, I've seen plenty of the smaller tabletop models, but this thing is HUGE. I need help finding a model number or any site or book that would have some more information on this.

There are no identifying numbers on it, with exception of #205760127 on the AMP in the center, and a small paper tag stapled to the case with #60127. The original back board/cover is missing.

A photo of the record changer would help date it.

That is a Perpetuum Ebner Rex A (3-speed) or RexAA (4-speed). These were made in the middle 1950s. Rex A was made from about 1954 to 1956, and Rex AA from 1956 to 1960.

I hope you got all of the parts. There are removable parts that are often lost:

- Small hole changer spindle
- Small hole balancing disk
- Small hole single play spindle
- Large hole changer spindle (needs no balancing disk)
- Large hole single play spindle

What you see in the picture is what I got...better than nothing I suppose.

I got this Grundig as well as another smaller Grundig, and six crates of old radio, and shortwave books for $30...Both radios in working condition. The changers however are not. :(
