1960s GE "Home Theater" console-possible hybrid?

[Dennman6]

Saw this at the Southport Antique Mall here near Indianapolis yesterday. It may be a hybrid, as it took a while for the TV to come on, but the stereo came on immediately. Obviously I couldn't move it out & pull the back off to check the tube lineup I was sorely tempted to take it home, as EVERYTHING worked on it! Except that 1-I don't have a place for it, 2-I didn't have an extra body to help move it, 3-I have a Pontiac Vibe not a pick up truck or van, 4-The $250 price tag seemed high. But STILL The cabinet is flawless. The TV is showing an episode of "Flipper" via ANT TV from the digital converter under the ceramic duck. The antenna is stuck on the wall at left with pushpins. Typically, the TV sound has its own low power audio amp, & sounds weak through the big honking speakers of the console. But the FM radio & turntable sound quite good. No shortage of bass on this thing. I'd keep this just as it is, were I to have gotten it. Sigh....

that is a nice cabinet, but is a bit high for a BW.

It has to be a 1966-70 model year, because of the GE built changer. I didn't think, GE or anyone else, built a B/W combo that late.
IMO, barely worth half the asking price.

I'd pay the asking price in that shape if I had room for it & a truck to transport it! I am in need of a nice console

If you push the front seat all the way forward and fold the back seat down you should be able to make it just fit. I've got a '03 Vibe and I've managed to get several big consoles into it.

Pretty sure it is a 1965-66 model, it has the first year GE changer with the floating cartridge head.
