I'm about to hook it up and see. The older gentlemen I bought this from stated it does work, but the tuning cable (mechanical) is broken. A look inside confirms that, but I should be able to manually tune it. That shouldn't be a terribly difficult fix.

No plans to sell this right now. I will fix it up and use it. However, the gentleman I bought this from says he has a much bigger unit with built in record player. I may go check that one out as I've wanted a record player lately. Also I found out my wife and son have been considering getting me a very, very large stereo (vacuum tube) with record player from the consignment shop where my son works (assisted living community for semi-active seniors). If I get one of the larger units this one may become available. Otherwise I'll continue to fix this one up and restore it for myself.


Hope it does still work, it just screams Fallout 3!

Bummer, it doesn't work. Looks like I will be taking a crash course on vacuum tubes!


Damn...Keep us posted, would be cool to see if you can get it working again :)
