A short Kutztown report

[Dave A]

Back from Kutztown and a short...and somewhat OT report.

The tv finds were thin. Sorry, no pix. Radios were everywhere. Best find...Waves got a nice 1948 Philco 10" I had never seen. Early production but missing the back. Not a side-car, but a straight front with a curved back edge. No back.

Spotted;

621TS. Varnish flying everywhere. $$$$.
Andrea 10". Sold.
Two Fada 621 types. Both mediocre cabinets. Not sold.
Several Moto 7". Not good.
Philco 7" bakelite. Good condition. Sold. $?
GE 17" metal cabinet. On it's way to far east. $85.
RCA 17" console. Make an offer. No one did.

Things I bought;

2 transistor Boys Radio NOS working. $10
Zenith 12" BW portable w/tubes. Working with no model number. $4.
Japan restored mini AA5. Baby blue plastic is nice. $15.
Grundig AM/FM/SW xstr working. Slimline wood veneer tabletop style. $22.

My favourite;

Zenith Allegra 100 tabletop AM/FM/phono ensemble. $1.

Disco lives! 70's vintage tabletop with the clear tilt-cover over the turntable and AM/FM tuner. Some cleaning and a few more vinyls to exercize the changer and all will be well. Old belt was slipping. Not a proper replacement. It was cut down with a sissors. New/old belt was laying inside. Put it back after cleaning and turntable is spinning. FM is spectacular with the line cord antenna and is working L/R/Center lamps for tuning.

Two outboard speaks with what looks like 6" bass and two tweeters in each speaker. It is in perfect condition and Benny Goodman is playing on the phono right now. Go vinyl!
