All wrong!
This set is not an Albatross, it is a Phoenix!
I saw this luxury console only once in my life.
The radio scale is telling me that it is officially exported
with FM up to 108 MHz.
It is made in 1957/58, not younger, not older.
Is it 21" or more?
I have the same chassis in a fridge size console with doors,
didn`t came with radio, record player and tape recorder.
Try to get it for 20 bucks!
The biggest investment should be the cabin work.
Don`t be foolish, if you are a collector you have to
decide if you collect mainstream, what everybody else
is doing, or you collect what nobody else owns.
That`s my way of collecting!
The standard console with this chassis turns up here in
Germany time by time.
Value is low, 50-100 Euros.
It is a life chassis, no heavy power trans, so shipping
of the chassis with yoke isn`t too expensive.
Sure you have 21"/90° CRTs with ion traps in dozends available!
And think at the bright shiny eyes of your wife when you bring
this new german family member home!
I can help you with free schematics and alignment/conversion
info!
