Harting 45 rpm phonograph & '47 Silvertone phonograph

I traded about 100 "unknown" 45 rpm records for these two record players.

The first one looks like the typical RP190 45 rpm changer; however, this one appears to be a model for the foreign market. The brand is "Harting" and the information on the bottom states:

Harting
12-Platten-Wechsler
110/220V 50Hz 45 UpM

Since this is a 50Hz motor, it will have to be modified to work on our 60Hz system. It has the typical mechanical problems, usual dirt, and there's what looks to be a cigarette burn mark on the tonearm.



The next one is a Silvertone model 7070 (chassis 101.817; which, I believe stands for Colonial Radio).from 1947. This is a 78 rpm phonograph/radio combination. I'm sure it will need the usual restoration (cartridge, idler wheel, lubrication, new caps, new power cord, etc.)
