With that said, I thought I'd share my latest find, a circa 1960 GE tube type console phonograph. I need another console like I need a hole in the head; but, the local flea market had three consoles that had been sitting there for ages with a starting price of $75. A few months ago, the owner begged me to take them for $35/ each. The other Saturday, he told me to name my price because he needed them gone. I offered him $10/each and he jumped on it. I'll post about the other two later.
This console has the usual VM changer w/ Sonotone cartridge and the amp is a single ended 6BQ5 based stereo unit driving 12" woofers. I have not attempted to power this up since it has some nasty looking capacitors in the amp that are probably bad and I don't want to take the risk of causing further damage. I suspect that after this is properly serviced, it will be a nice sounding unit.
