To say that I am obsessed with finding information about this thing before it arrives would be an understatement. I think I may have found it here on RadioMuseum.org, listed as a 1942 model having the extremely rare JM-1C changer/recorder.

If that is the model than it is really going to be something! 4 6L6 output tubes (likely in push-pull-parallel) like my 1946 Magnavox, and a total of 22 tubes should make for a really hot receiver with good POWERFUL audio.

The down side if it is a 1942 model is the possibility of only having the pre-war FM (FM really changed freqs in 1941 because of TV taking over it's old spectrum). There are ways of getting pre-war FM sets to work (some good threads here about that too), but it can be a hassle.

Well, I got some more pics. Turns out that it is a Model 60!

Drove an hour to pick up this Nordmende Sterling Caruso 583D for the princely sum of $20. The owner was a fellow radio geek trimming his collection for an upcoming move. The best part about this console is that all the tubes have been replaced. The only item it appears to lack is a new idler for the turntable. I'm not complaining.
