I have medium size cabinet 4ft. High x 2ft.wide x 2ft. deep that contains an AM/FM Shortwave Radio / Turntable. Everything is in excellent working condition but the turntable. A single sheet of paper came with the unit, bearing the markings of the cover of the instruction booklet indicating it is a Blaupunkt Arizona Model #4421.
I would like any information as to the proper of name of this unit. When was it made? Who made it? Where was it made? Where can I get parts for the turntable?
How do you value something like this?

Any assistance given will be greatly appreaciated.
You may contact me via email or business phone 412-782-2428. Thank you.

Hi Tony,
the name "Blaupunkt Arizona 4421" ist the complete name oft your "Phonosuper"
(the german word for a radio with built-in turntable)
It is made by Blaupunkt, Germany, in Hildesheim (a city near Hannover in Niedersachsen (lower saxonia), Northern Germany). When, i don't know yet.
Blaupunkt is famous for their car-radios, in the last years, they stopped to make
other stuff like home-stereo and TVs.
The turntable might be a "Dual". What type is it?
Dual was well known for their turntables in the past, nearly
80% of turntables in Germany were made by Dual, sold by themseves or
as a built-in in other brands.

The value in $? I don't know. Here in Germany such radios are mostly of a very low value :-( ,
people often see them as "throw away" stuff.
