Neat find, is there SW on the dial as well? And what are all those behind it..yours as well?

Zenith Interior

This is the ONLY console that had a belt drive changer that I am aware of. In the center of the platter is the built in 45 spindle. It folded down when not in use. This one plays perfectly but needs a good cleaning as it was sitting in a basement for many years. Mark

 

[petek]

The Philco, now that's my look. Was it you Mark who found that Magnavox console NIB that was to be a gift to a girl who died?

 

[lightedcontrols]

H Petek!

Yes the Crosley DOES have the SW on the dial. The photos were taken in the lower part of my warehouse. Half of the bottom is washers and the other half is record players, TV's, and combos. Mark

The new in box stereo was a Motorola! Mark

 

[petek]

Warehouse full eh? Don't tell me those things, I'm crowding myself out in the house, the garage is so full I can't get the car or truck in anymore, well maybe the car but barely. We have a small office building that had a truck/whse bay in the back, about 1000 sq ft but we converted it two years ago into more office space with false walls and floating ceilings etc but just today we decided on putting it on the market. Maybe I'll have to rethink this LOL. don't think the other half will go for it though, his vintage interests are zip to zilch and already thinks I'm halfway to madness

Oh Mark

That Philco is what I call " Instant Fine Living"! Just open the box!

Georgeous!

The choice for music is the voice of music...

The Philco has the famous VM changer with the button in the turntable. Pretty cool.

My parents had a 1968 Philco console. Had the cool VM changer in it and hopefully I can find one someday.

I saw at least 3 Maggies in the pic. WHOA!

Quite Fabulous Mark!

I see that I am going to have to add Roanoke, Virginia;
soon to be Wyethville, Virginia; to my global collection tour!
For a short time in the early '90's I had a similar Zenith,
very much the same cabinet. I don't recall the big round
(tuner log?) dial, but the changer had the C A & b i 45
spindle; I had no idea that the changer was a belt drive,
I would have never let it go so easily. Are the Zenith & Philco solid state or tube powered? It looks like you have a
spectacular collection of vintage audio.

Yow!

That Philco console is causing considerable moistness! Wait 'til Kevin sees it.

So Mark, you have a warehouse with vintage appliances and electronics? Hmmm. Please let me know the exact address and the next time you plan to be out of town. The security code for the alarm will be helpful, too.

Why? Oh, no reason...

Hi Darrel & Veg

The Philco is a tube model and has a bookcase thing on top that is not shown. Went to Wytheville today and forgot to take a photo of it. drat. Now Veg & Darrel, when you're ready to take a trip, just c'mon! Mark
