Anyone into old radios?

I found this at Goodwill today.

It all works!
Even the turntable plays!

$49.99, but it was 50% off day so I got it for $24.99!

Silvertone Medalist Model 1074 and 1075

I can find almost no info on it though

My son LOVES it!

It looks like it even has the spindle (or whatever it's called) for the 45s!

Yep!

That's the stacking adapter for 45's.

Awesome!! I dont know anything about them but I love old stuff, what a score!

My boyfriend thinks that might be Wards or Sears. Either way, it's a beaut! Might be a cherrywood cabinet.. and it looks like it's in really good shape. Bottom line, it's a nice piece of furniture.

That's gorgeous. I just hope you don't have to buy any tubes for it; they've gotten hideously expensive.

Now, a little secret. You could turn it into a piece of furniture, remove the amplifier, and probably get a couple hundred for just the amplifier, which is very popular for home built tube guitar amps.

Yep, Silvertone was a Sears brand, I found out.

Tubes seem to run about $10 each.
That's why I am excited that is all works now!
There is NO WAY I will gut this as long as it works!

I already had another one that was in need of a total rebuild.
I gutted it and used it for a stand for our flat panel LCD.
I used the speaker portion as a computer case and built a media PC in it.
The part that held the turn table is used for our game consoles.

Wow, that is really neat. I like old stuff like that. How does it sound??

Hon, that ain't a radio, that's a "Hi-Fi"! lol. It reminds me so much of the one my dad built right after my parents got married but the turn table was in one cabinet, there was a HUGE speaker in the living room, and another one in the kitchen. He even up-graded it when I was in grade school with an 8-track player. He refused to get a cassette player when they came around, but he did allow me to get a cassette converter for the 8-track player. He was very old school!

Sorry...trip down memory lane! Great find though!! I can't believe you found a record player that works...I've been looking for one for ages! Congrats!

Great find! I have heard that "vinyl" is back in vogue...

The radio sounds great and the records sound OLD!

That's how we like it!

We have a new Sony USB turntable for great sounding vinyl.
