I figured the cartridges were probably of the crystal variety, I wonder if the playback tone-arm could at least be retro-fitted with a modern ceramic cartridge, to make that at least functional again? I really don't care if the recording part works or not because it would just be more for show and tell purposes (mostly tell) because I doubt one could find a magnetic cutting head/cartridge that would work with a tone-arm as big and heavy as this thing is. Anyways The radio part definitely looks high quality and definitely looks like it would be a good Night time DX'er. It also has a Tuning Eye Tube for the radio which is nice. One thing I'm wondering about is how hard would it be to find an original microphone for this unit, so I can have it for looks?
