Looking for details on these old radios....

Hi--

Wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about these....especially the year they were made. [Edited by moderator.]
Here's what I know so far:

1-2. Majestic Model 90
Grigsby-Grunow Company of Chicago


3-4. Westinghouse AM-SW Model?


5-6. Philco Model 46-1226 AM-SW Record Player

Thanks!

Hi, the Majestic is 1929, and as you know, is built like a tank and they are impressive performers, especially compared to radios just one or two years earlier. The electrodynamic speaker was a major improvement over lesser earlier designs in both volume and tone. They are desirable. Here's the schematic:

The Westinghouse: need a model number.

The Philco: 1946. The postwar radio/phono consoles are not as popular with collectors, but who's to say what you might like? Nice radio. The changer is 78 RPM only. There are people who specialize in restoring changers like that if needed. The mechanisms can be tricky. Here's the schematic:

Hi--

Thanks so very much!

I have no idea on the Westinghouse....the info sticker is missing.

I can get a chassis number, tho

From what I can see, the Westinghouse looks to have been made between '40-'42.

May very well be...thought I would mention however that the TT looks exactly like a Philco D10A I have in a console from '48. If I can find the thread with pix I'll post it.
