Panacoustic transcription record player/PA system

[radiotvnut]

Here's a Panacoustic (made by U.S. Recording Company of Washington, DC) transcription record player from 1959. Cosmetically, the only things wrong is that someone removed the mounting bolts that hold the speaker in place and there's a panel missing that conceals a storage area (I could make a new panel, if I wanted to).

The amp looks decent and uses a single 6V6 output tube, with an 89T cartridge (that I'll convert to something else). It also has an ElectroVoice microphone with it. 89T's are getting scarce and much too expensive these days.

I don't know anything about U.S.Recording Company, except that they built talking book record players for the blind, during the '50's.

Since this unit has a long tonearm and since the arm rest will move out of the way, it will play the larger 16" records.
