1942 Zenith 10S690 Radio/Phono Combo

[DavGoodlin]

I like to see someone else rescue these post-war horizontal consoles. The mono push-pull 6V6 amps and speakers were as good as the newer phono consoles even ten years later (Magnavox and Fisher exempt)

I found a Zenith 12H090 for similar reasonable money, only missing its original RP, whatever it was in '47, SO in the phono drawer was an early '60's Ensign 4-speed changer made by Admiral. Both leads of the Sonotone 8t cart tied and run using bell-wire to a pigtail from chassis.

From the same seller included a Stromberg Carlson 1121 which is an early 1947 model with both FM bands, in the left pull-out it had a V-M 1200 series (one with levers, not knobs) sitting on a made-up plinth. I think a V-M 400 was original.
