Here's three more mono consoles that I recently obtained.
The first is a circa '56-'57 Magnavox AM/FM radio/phonograph combo that uses the AMP142AA chassis (4-6V6 output tubes) and a tuning eye.

The next one is a '57 Zenith radio/record player combo that uses a VM-built cobra-matic changer, along with a record compensator selector. This is a single chassis model with PP-6V6's.

Last, we have a '49 Philco AM/FM/record player combo that uses the dual tonearm record changer. One tonearm is for automatically playing a stack of 78's. The other tonearm allows manual playback of 33 1/3 rpm LP's. This one does not play 45 rpm records. The chassis does not use a power transformer; but, uses a voltage doubler power supply with a single ended output stage.

I think I'll have fun with these and they should be nice performers when restored.
