curbside seeburg console

[Adam]

It's one of those ones with the "telephone dial" where you dial up the number of the record you want to play. I just picked this up from the side of the road. It had a weird sign on it that said "this is not a bomb." The Buick isn't running, so after I saw it I had to go and rent a van, and hope no one would take it before I got back. I got back with the van, and was struggling to lift it in there when the guy that put it on the curb saw me, but he was nice and helped me lift it in the van. He said he inherited it from a friend who was the original owner, used it for a while, had it in storage for a while, then tried to e-bay it with no success, and finally just decided to put it on the curb today. This unit is heavy, it's even heavier than my Philco roundie combo, and just a bit longer, too. I've wanted one of these ever since I first heard about them, anyone out there with one? Do they put out a "good sound", or have any common problems? I just got it in here, I haven't really taken a look at it yet, haven't even pulled the back off yet and seen if it's tube or ss. I'll post some pics after I get things a bit more cleaned up in here, and shift some consoles around.

Some pics added. I hope it'll hold the weight of that Magnavox I just put on top of it. There was no other way to fit it in here.
