Newbie here. I have been looking for a set almost identical to that one in NC. My Dad bought us an Admiral 30x15 and the only difference is a 12 inch screen on the TV; otherwise, the cabinet, and phono are identical. I think it was sold in 1949 for $299. I would love to find one of them.

BTW, there was a phono section just like the one in this set on ebay two weeks ago. It went for $10 with $25 (I think) shipping.

I agree, the one in the thrift shop looks pretty shot, but a great find nonetheless for someone who needs parts or patterns for grille cloth etc.
