Found old radio

I was walking to the gas station to my suprise I see a 1930-50s looking record player sitting on the curb I say if that things tube its mine I look and it is tube but now comes the tricky part, It says on the back "Westinghouse stereophonic high fidelity with AM-FM Radio" its a model H-M 1410 Walnut stain contemporary styled unit 2x12" 4x6" all tube record player with one 12ax7 pre amp tube, two 7591 (Power tubes?) and a 5U4GB tube (dunno nother power tube?) in the tuner it has four 6BA6, one 6AL5, one 6eu7, one 6BE6, one 12AT7. Its 155 watts 105-120 volts it works and sounds PRETTY good a little staticy but its OLD so any ideas about where I can find information on it? I think it will need a new needle for the record player but I think I got a pretty good deal :P
I found out that its from around 1958-60s I think its very cool

I found it listed in the Sams Photofact index - #567-16, from 1962. I'll check my collection, but I doubt I have it - they're mostly earlier.

I bet this one has potential. The schematic is in Beitmans 22 (1962) pages 144-145. Stereo SE 7591. Westinghouse was a good brand.

Once I found a Westinghouse stereo in a little antique store. They wanted too much & wouldn't negotiate. At some point later I found the same set sitting in the junk pile at the local auction barn. It had been beat up quite a bit by the auction handlers, ruining the cabinet. I hauled it home for free. Wasn't too bad; it was one of those where you could listen to am on one channel and fm on the other. If it wasn't so beat up I might have kept it. They do take up some space, though.

I've got a large Westinghouse AM-FM table set IIRC model H-106 from about 1950 or so that uses a single 6L6 for the output tube. Sounds pretty fair, I need to recap it though.

Any and all wax paper caps should be replaced. It may sound better once that is done.
