Antique 45 RPM with AM Radio Ristaucrat model 2020

[walterbeers]

Picked up an unusual 45 speed record player with am radio. It's an Ristacrat
Model 2020 Serial number 3520 Made in Appleton Wisconsin. Wonder if any of you guys have ever seen one of these, and or have any information on this player. It has AM radio, and the 45 speed changer. Quite different than the RCA 45ers. I know I should have not plugged it in to test, but of course it has the loud hum *filter cap), but the radio does play, but the record player turns with a loud thumping. No audio from the needle. Of course it would need a complete cleaning, as it's corroded up with age. The wooden case is in pretty decent shape for it's age. thumbnail_image3.jpg
