Anyone recognize this combo ?
 
I don't think I've seen one quite like this before :scratch2:

Looks like a late 40's RCA to me.

Maybe, but it doesn't really look like the RCA combos shown on tvhistory.tv

The radio bevel looks like a Crosley...

It doesn't look at all familiar, that makes me think it's probably going to be an oddball brand like Teleking, Airline, or one of the other less known models.

The knobs look vaguely like those rectangular General Electric knobs (that are always missing) but the set itself doesn't look like any GE I'm familiar with.

Have you written them for any info?

Sparton used a 5 knob layout but I can't say that I have seen a combo that looks like this.

bandersen 06-12-2011 01:16 PM

I sent them an email asking if there is a band name or model #.

Does it look like the lower storage compartment is set up for 45's, or am I seeing things because of the angle of the pic?

ChrisW6ATV 06-12-2011 04:23 PM

That lower-left compartment looks like it was added on maybe, it is not even close in color to the rest of the cabinet.

On a closer look, an optical illusion makes it look like it is a shallow + shaped compartment, but I think it is a full-depth, full-height compartment with a vertical divider. It still has a darker color than everything else.

According to the seller, it is a GE. Odd. It doesn't look much like this other GE combo far sale in my area.

I think I once saw an ad for a prewar direct view(possibly NTSC standard) GE radio-TV-Phono console....you don't suppose....

Similar to the model #820 shown here:

I flipped through a couple Riders and I think I found it in vol 3 - it's a GE 820.

The one two posts up is a GE 12K1.

(jr tech just beat me to it!)

If I had unlimited space and funds, I'd grab them both ;)

The TV should go on the right... Now the left... No, put it back on the right.

charokeeroad 06-13-2011 06:17 PM

I recognize it. It looks like one of those Chineese puzzle boxes where one box is inside another box inside another box....
