I've also noticed that it Garrod turntable. I initially thought this might have been aftermarket, but after some research, I saw that some models came with this higher end turntable OEM.
That radio controls are in the center with turntable to left. That entire right side is empty. I see some small brackets that look like they might hold a microphone and wire, but I don't see any holes where wires would have gone through. Very curious what this was used for originally.
Novice to all this so any insight would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance!
