Found 3 sad looking record players

[radiotvnut]

From the same guy I bought the new Crosley from, I got these three sad looking record players.

The first one is a King 3-speed "one tube wonder" that uses a 32L7 tube (rectifier and output in a single tube) and the filament is wired in series with the 90V phono motor. The cartridge is the old flat metal 78 rpm style and the only capacitors in the unit are the electrolytic filter caps. For the needle, someone stuck a straight pin in the cartridge. And, the case covering is in rough shape. Looks to be from the early '50's. Has anyone ever recovered one of these?




The next one is a late '50's Olympic with a BSR changer. Also is in bad shape and probably another "one tube wonder".


The last one is a late '40's Silvertone AM radio/78 rpm record changer. Like the other two, the cabinet is fairly beat up with veneer damage. Is that changer a VM or was it made by someone else?
