Maybe the exact count depends on your definition. If your definition is: includes a turntable (as opposed to just a jack) with or without a radio...then 8.

Looks like the CRT in your console is shot -- maybe the neck snapped off. That large spot in the center of the screen is a dead giveaway, as it looks like the phosphors were blown off when the tube went to air.

Here are mine...

These are all self contained...
Zenith rectangular color w radio/phono
Silvertone round color w radio/phono

These need an external turntable to complete.
Hallicrafters 820 (BW rectangular with AM radio)
Andrea CVL-16 (BW round with FM radio)

Not a lot but too many.
From Left to right in the photo's.

A Philco 1280, I've never seen another one of this model, it's huge and very, very heavy, I saved it because the cabinet was too beautiful to let it go to waste.

An early-mid 60's Admiral, immaculate condition, $5.00 at auction, CRT is shot but everything works on it including the record changer.

A Curtis Mathis single wide, this rivals the Philco for sheer bulk, made of really good particle board with real veneer over it, weight? no man can say.
The little 7" set on top of the CM to the right is also a full Combo, 45 player, Radio and TV.

An unusual Truetone (Raytheon chassis) with a tilt out CRT, I need to get busy and fix this one.

And the last one isn't even a TV but a big Westinghouse Radio/Phono combo from 1948, Top of the line for that year as far as I can tell, I have a couple Westinghouse TV's sitting on top of it.

One more, not a full combo but it has a radio built in and a jack for a phono attachment.

This 16" (16AP4 so it's also deep) RCA dwarfs your average 21" Console of the 50's, it's enormous!
The MSRP for this set was $695.00 in 1949!

My Avatar is from this set.

Well if combos without TVs count, then I've lost count.....The TV combo gods have yet to curse me with the burden of caring for one, though at least one of my TVs has a phono input if that counts.

Neat pictures so far.

Just one, but it's one of the biggest and baddest of all time: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/dumont_la_ra_101.html !

It's a DuMont RA-101 Westminster.

Phil's Scott sure is a beauty.

I have two, the first one is an early '60s b&w General Electric Custom Decorator in white French Provincial motif, and the second is a 1971 Magnavox Total Automatic Color Stereo Theatre armoire, in fruitwood French Provincial. The GE gets light on the screen, the amp works, but the original cartridge and needle it looks like, skips records. Tuner does not work. The tv doesn't work on the armoire, but I'd wanted one for a couple of years since I found one in Vero Beach FL that I didn't get. This may be the same one though, after it disappeared off eBay. Bought it Christmas Eve of '10, delivered 1-4-11.
