Got me a HOSS !
...A Newcomb model AFM-1500, that is. "Portable" (Ha-Ha...) AM-FM 8 tube radio, w/Magic Eye, & 6 X 9 speaker, made by the same people, likely, wh made yr Grade School record player. And this thing is built to the same standards, I looked it up on Google, & there was a catalog-No date- but likely mid-60s, this beast had a list price of $199.95.. Only one I've ever seen, could stand a de-oxing, & good cleaning. Gave $70 for it, prolly too much in a way, but something THIS odd doesn't pop up every day, & I believe in striking when the iron's hot... Besides, made friends w/the seller, he seemed like a good guy, told him about us, he said he'd check us out. This thing weighs a GOOD 20 LBS...Like I said, a HOSS...
