Looking for some help to determine year/age of a console radio and phonograph. Lid of console lifts up to display a 78 disk with heavy brass arm displaying the Majestic name. Two 7in doors the lenght of the console swing open to display radio with 3 knobs. Center knob controls the dialing as well as the phonograph. Unit weighs approximately 150 lbs and stands 48in high. Contains 2 (27) 2(45) and 1 Cunningham (CX 380) tube. Needs wiring replacement but cabinet is in great shape. Presently under restoration. Any help or direction appreciated.

Hi Bill

Your radio was made in 1929.. There is a schematic and other information here on Nostalgiaair. Check under schematics, Rider by Original Index, Grigsby Grunow and the model number.
