Needless to say it sounds great... not much top end since the speaker system lacks a real tweeter. but VERY warm and pleasant







This is a beauty - my guess is that if you replace the capacitors feeding the tweeters and mids, a lot of the missing top end will appear. Once they start to deteriorate, it slowly kills the top end and messes with the frequency response.

The capacitors are still good apparently, they tested fine on my ESR meter.

GE Musaphonic Console

Purported to be a 1949 model, this will be joining my console collection later this month. Does anyone know anything about these? The one thing that confuses me a bit is its lack of FM. All of the print ads I've seen tout this as having FM. Also, does anyone know who may have made the dual-tonearm phonograph?
