1953-ish Zenith Cobramatic radio/phono

[holmesuser01]

Found this on Craigslist. The only thing I noticed was that it is a Cobramatic turntable. It's in a bakelite tabletop cabinet, and is full of rats nests... packed.

The seller said it was just a phonograph. When I opened it up, I found the little radio tuner system in there... under all the rat nesting. Typical AC/DC tubes, etc... 35W4, 12AV6, 12BE6, etc...

Turntable is a wreck. I need rubber parts. I think the number on the turntable is C-1405. This would be a job for Voice Of Music, would it not?

The paper label with the tubes and model number is eaten away.

Found a stamp with the 1953 printed on it.

I'll take pictures, somewhat, tomorrow. I got cold outside working on it.

Gave $25 for it. Decided when I got home that I'd been had, somewhat.

I've already freed-up the changer mechanism.

It has a needle cartridge in place. Astatic 110, I think.
