Thank you radiotvphononut for the helpful information! You are correct, BSR. I had no idea that the crystal cartridge would die, that explains why my much older phonographs from the 1940's never produce any sound from the cartridge however the amp/radio works after replacing the capacitors/resistors. I suspected they would die over time but I've always been more focused on the radio end of it. Thank you again!
That's a nice phonograph and it's rare to find one of these NIB! The record changer was made by BSR and is from the '63-'65 time period. You're lucky that the crystal cartridge still has full output because many of the old crystal cartridges will die from sitting unused. Most of the one tube models used a 25 volt tube with it's filament wired in series with the 90V turntable motor.
117L6 tube? Thats sort of the "amplifier in a bottle" deal that was common with these sorts of setups. Rectifier and output tube all in one package. Looks like a V-M changer too. Cool find, especially with the box!
That is really cool. They went out of business in '55, didn't they? Were you able to pinpoint the year of this from the stuff in the box? Sounds really good.

That is a nice find. I never get lucky like that, and never ever on ebay. Sweet! Thanks. Paul.
WOW! and the box too! Very nice!

@AllAmericanFiveRadio, Soon I will make a video of that 1929 Victor radio! Stay tuned!
What a wonderful find! Does it still have the 16 RPM speed for reading book records?
I don't know, I just didn't in the viddeo.
