A TV
Rob, it's supposed to be a TV combo unit I think.
Someone in L.A. is offering to sell me several old sets, three of which are pretty common early 50's floor models but one is a Philco 12" Combo and this unidentified one. I guess I could ask the person what it is but it might take awhile before he could get to it, I just wanted to see if I could find out now. It has a really nice elaborate cabinet! It presents me with a few problems, 1. I don't have room for two huge consoles 2. I don't think two of them will fit in my Toyota P.U. 3. I don't have room for two huge consoles 4. My back is too bad to be lugging these things around Eric |

Not enough for any but the smallest picture. Might be a mirror-in-the-lid, but if so I have never seen anything like it. Looks like the left lower door is hinged and the right is fixed. Storage and speaker? I have seen radio/record player combos with that kind of arrangement so maybe the guy is just mistaken. Marlin |

Marlin's right
It is only a radio/phono/recorder unit, missing parts at that but still it's a nice cabinet!
So, anyone know what make it is? Umm, I guess that actually makes this thread "off topic" |

Eric,
If I had that set cluttering up my shop, I'd offer to sell it to someone too. Walk away. You can find a complete whatever that will thrill you more. Save your space (and $$$) for a real treasure! Rob |

What is it?
I'm pretty sure (95%) it's a Westinghouse. One of the antique malls here had one for $110 and it just sat....and sat....and finally sold for $65.
But not before someone took all the knobs off. Wasn't really a bad set, it was just, well, BIG! Saw another like this several years back in blonde (Admiral?) but it had a 7" tube and I didn't buy it. Live and learn. Michael |

Re: What is it?

Would anyone in L.A. be interested in these sets and several others? I don't think I want to go all that way just for the Philco but I would hate to see it get trashed. I don't know what he wants for the sets. Eric |
