Tube RCA 7" Single Record Changer and FM / AM Radio Furniture - SERVICED!

In 1950 7" Single Records were the greatest Hit and thus RCA decided to put this technology into a piece of furniture to make it the main attraction in the living room. It is a vacuum tube based amplifier with a big speaker and FM AM tube Radio. FM was fairly new at the time. Then there was no stereo at the time, so it is mono. You will fall in LOVE with it, to give single records and radio listening that much space in your living quarters - I did (!), so I started to restore it. It was completely dead and needed A LOT of tender loving WORK - About $950 worth of labor and parts went so far into it! Working Condition: How far did I get? The amplifier works perfectly and sounds great (!) - completely restored (!) - The 7" singles record changer reliably works, but sounds a bit warbly, as I did not have access to a good idler wheel at the time. The Radio works (a lot of time went into that), both AM (if I remember correctly) and FM - FM receives well at low frequencies, but reception fades away when going up - if tuning higher than 92 MHz no longer receives - as at the time I could not find good high voltage radio capacitors.

Physical Condition: typical age related signs of age and use, such as scratches, dings, discoloration and other defects, but overall condition is good.

Price: $275 as described above, or: $495 if I bring the singles record changer up to work perfectly - The radio can be a bottom less pit, as it is hard to find the needed parts and may require very time involved work, so my estimate would be $1700 with both singles changer and radio fully working. Alternative considerations: Add BlueTooth and you can feed modern sound sources, including radio or your internet playlist to it - price depends on what you will need - to be discussed - and I can shoot more photos -> INQUIRE.

SHIPPING COST: A LOT! - Some one inquired about 3 years ago to have it shipped from CA to WA which came to $400 - Time has passed and Prices gone up - tell me where you need it shipped to and I will give you a quote -> Shipping quote required, before this item can sell shipped - too big to ship as a package, so it is going to be FREIGHT -> INQUIRE - or: LOCAL PICKUP in Chico CA, USA always welcome!

Purchase Agreement - All Sales are: "AS-IS”, FINAL - and: not returnable: LET’s do all that is needed to make sure to get you exactly what you need - BEFORE your purchase (Not returnable)! PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS - I am here to assist. All items are used and VINTAGE - sold "AS-IS" (-> vintage = often 50 years old!!!) and even with the best of refurb / repair work STILL CAN FAIL) and thus is sold without warranty or guarantees of any kind (AS-IS). I aim to perform all work that I foresee necessary, to provide equipment in well and reliably working condition - refurbish in as much detail as possible - and test thoroughly, to gain confidence through testing, to predict that it will last, but once work complete, it is still possible that something can go or be wrong with it (vintage) - Prices of items offered here reflect the work that went into a given piece of gear until it is listed, but cannot cover what a given piece may need in the future - that would be at your risk and expense - If there are defects, problems or shortcomings: likely I can repair, but it will be at additional cost - I do service what I sell at my regular shop rate. Any shipping costs responsibility of the buyer.
