Depending on shape and model it is worth anywhere between $50-$200 dollars. Check ebay for current auctions. Are you wanting to sell it? Let me know

Have you tested the wire recorde? If it works I am interested since I have many hours of wire recordings I need to transfer to tape or CD. Contact me at
donald.garcia@ibest.com.br Thanks.

I have a few of these, nice units. The things you will probably need to address or check: idler wheel, lube and adjustment, recapping, recording heads are sometimes bad or open and the wire they used in
the chasis box on these really becomes brittle with age, more than others from the same time period.
You should take apart and check before powering up for to long.

I'll hv to agree with Don - ck the wires! I recently rec'd a Silvertone floor model from my Dad that he bought years ago from a church. The wires were so bad (i.e. cracked) that that was the first thing we had to take care of. Have plenty of pre-recorded wires, but no microphone & no needle for the phonograph. If someone out there knows where I can get a replacement needle, that would be great! Thanks.

Hi Barbara

Two places for needles and record player cartridges are West Tech Services 304-349-2149 and Vintage Electronics 601-264-4755.
