'49 Admiral table model radio/phono combo
Here's a '49 Admiral Bakelite AM radio/3-speed record player that I recently picked up. Being from '49, this would be one of the earliest 3-speed models. I think Admiral made an earlier 78-only model that used the same cabinet.

I remember that changer as being only a two speed. 33 and 78.

Hmm. I've got something similar but maybe only one speed?

I double checked and mine is 3-speed. Mine even has the three cutouts around the center spindle for the automatic 45 rpm record adapter.

These are pretty cool looking units. Performance wise I have no idea as I never really ever plugged mine in. One thing is for sure. For maximum display effectiveness, these things need to be cleaned and buffed up. Anybody have some tips for a reliable way to clean and polish up bakelite? I never seem to have very good luck...

Mine didn't come with the 45 adapter; but, I have an adapter that came with my '49 TV/radio/phono combo that I can "borrow" until one comes along.

I may have to start a thread on that one. I have a few bakelite tabletop radios that could use help too. I try polishing them up but they seem to not respond well.
What does that adapter look like ?

I think this is it. Unfortunately, It's a little on the expensive side. I will, of course, try to find a used one before I shell out $50 for a new one.

I've got a two speed model(78 and 33). I think mine has a bad pickup; any leads on replacement cartridges for this thing?
