Hello All, I saw the strangest old Zenith yesterday while making my junk shop rounds. I got caught without my readers but it looked like the tube layout included 2) 6SL7's. It was a combo auto-matic record player/radio. The thing that really seemed odd was the chain drive on the turn-table.
The needle in the really cool (Zenith labeled) tone arm looked more like a spike than a phono stylus. I'm assuming this plays those really old heavy records. I have a couple old Zenith pieces which I like quite well, and was thinking of adding this. The fellow at the store said the radio played at low volume but the table did not spin. I was wandering if anyone here had any experience with these and what I could expect beyond normal recapping and tube freshening. The wood was good with no de-laminating and just a few scratches. Cosmetically maybe a 7 or 8. Price was 50 bux. Thanks for sharing any thoughts, Jay
