What kind of GE Console Phonograph is this?
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 3:41 am
Greetings!
I picked up this GE Console Phonograph from a yard sale about 3 months ago. I've had it sitting outside my house for quite some time now. My dad is upset and considers it an eye sore. So I wanted to know to if it was worth anything or if I should just scrap it. (I have no knowledge of console phonographs.)
I was hoping to find insight of someone knowledgeable with phonographs. From what I've learned from playing with this so far is:
1) When I plug it in radio still works and it sounds great!
2) I do not know if the stylus works
3) The previous owners appear to have attempted to have the phonograph serviced and I have taken a few pictures of what they gave me.
4) Phonograph appears to have been taken well care of. No clearly visible signs of neglect or damage.
I was hoping to figure out if this phonograph is worth much or some type of history behind it if any (such as the date or rarity). Or should i just leave it on the curb and wait for someone to pick it up and possibly scrap it. I'm interested in offers if any 
Thank you!
