First off I am not into gutting anything, especially American made anything. Only if I'm going to lose my house and need money that bad! Doing ok now. That's one of those things that disturbs me, On the audio side how many JBL components are now over in Asia, never to be seen by us Americans again? As far as dual turntables I found that very interesting, In 1948 or 1949 RCA came out with the 45 RPM player. This is the same year that 33 1/3 RPM was introduced! To get them both in this unit which I think is a 1951 they used one TT for 78 and 33 and the smaller 45 RPM was seperate but being an RCA invention they wanted it included. This frigin 45 RPM player may be the prize of this thing, the early ones are quite pricey. Back to the console, I was surprised how many bells and whistles are included being 1951. The TV seems quite large for the time, It includes FM which for 1951 I think is quite unusual! As above the double turntables and it also has wired remote control! I am really looking for info in a big way! I still have not found a schematic and I don't want to touch anything without one. (unless it does not exist). Thanx for your comments they are encouraging!
