1942 Zenith 10S690 Radio/Phono Combo

Yep, just as I suspected, it originally had a V-M Model 200 78 RPM Record Changer in it, as can be seen in this picture I snagged off the Radio Museum Website of the 10S690, that's exactly the reason why that more modern 4 Speed V-M Record Changer was an exact drop-in fit for this radio.
As you can see from the picture I snagged from the Voice of Music Enthusiasts Website the Model 200 78 RPM Record Changer had the same exact mounting screw pattern as the replacement in the radio I'm going to be getting, which is why the more modern V-M Changer was an exact drop-in replacement, because V-M used a standard mounting screw pattern on all of their record changers they ever made for ease of replacement.

This model was apparently known as the Wilshire.

IIRC, the VM record changer pictured is a post-war model. It seems to me VM wasn't in business prewar. They started sometime after WW2.
BTW, offer the seller $40.00 for the console. No one seems to want those wide radio-phono consoles. Not my idea! I have four really nice ones.

Well I got it for $40!

And all the tubes in it except the rectifier tube are all the original Zenith Tubes.

Now you're speaking my language!
It's either worth it or it isn't.
