sorry i cant help you with the consloe picture but i like the watch in your avatar.that's a omega right?

Correct. I used to have the James Bond Model in my avatar but sold it and replaced it with the Omega Seamaster America's Cup Non/AC.

I don't know what the console is either, but I like it...For $40, you'd have a pretty piece of furniture !

I saved and enlarged the pics and still couldn't get a handle on the brand. Could be anything; definitely American, not necessarily from the 50s; could be 60s.

A low risk move for $40.00. Seeing as it's on CL, you might even get it for less than that-

Buy the console! For $40, the worst case scenario is you've added some tubes to your arsenal and some firewood to your woodpile (though I personally think that one's too cool to burn!). Sounds like it's in operating condition though, so it could be worth tinkering with.

Something about the tuner and amp portion of the unit is crying out MAGNAVOX. Not sure if 50"s is right 60"s may be more accurate.

That appears to be a Voice Of music, c.1960. The cabinets for some of these consoles were built by Drexel. They have a great sound and a bomb-proof changer mechanism as well. By all means, buy it!!


Dumont- first with the finest in television.:yes:
