The 1962 Curtis Mathes line production.

I have one of those big CM table radios--not the REAL big one--but the one size down. A 6BQ5 amp, 8"2 way speaker--not bad at all. IIRC, a flea mkt. find from maybe 15-16 years ago or so.

I'd like to find a Curtis Mathis round tube set. Scarce up in Wisconsin. a 63 if possible

Who made most of the record changers in C-M 1960's consoles? They look sort of like BSR. Some say Collaro did some.

The one in my C-M stereo is marked BSR.

I just got done with a recap of the chassis, and much to my surprise all of the caps inside were oil-filled Matsushita. Weird seeing a .047 that looks like 10 uF. Couple of them were physically leaking, and of course they all got replaced.

Because it's been altered it's value as a collectible TV is pretty much zero, even in perfect original condition these massive B&W combos aren't worth a whole lot, they're just too big for most people to deal with.

I bought a nearly perfect and original 1961 C-M combo, (similar to yours but without the top section), for $15 a few years back, I'd probably have a hard time finding someone to take it for free.

The value of your set is whatever someone will pay for a nice cabinet (and honestly that's probably more than it's worth as a TV) , it's most likely made with real wood so that's a good thing.

If you have a buyer I would sell it. Most collectors if they have the room would prefer the original TV and there was never an 8 track from the factory (it hadn't been invented yet). It may have originally had a reel to reel tape recorder though, which would also have been collectable.

Flamin' heck, I don't even want to think about how heavy that thing is! My two combinaton units (a '64 Astor Devon D31-G and '67 Kriesler Multi-Sonic Theatre A1118) are both incredibly heavy, and they're about half the size of the Montgomery! Still, it'd definitely be a unique set to own, quite like the Imperial Dane.

Does the one with the lit screen have a clock built in , or my eyes tricking me?

Sure is - It's an auto-on/auto-off timer. Sadly though, the dial on it got damaged during transit, so I can't really use it at the moment.
