Heraldyne/Claxtonola radio/phono Goodwill find!
1/17/2008 12:48:54 PMMark Johansson
Hi everybody! A friend of mine found this amazing console at Goodwill yesterday for $99.00. It has a TRF 5 tube radio on the left and a wind up phono on the right. Comes with a small "Morrison loudspeaker unit" that replaces the phono's sound box & plays the radio through the phono horn. Everything appears to be there including original instruction books! On my Eico 666, all but one tube test OK (one bad 01A) The tone arm is broken but I think it's fixable. Phono motor winds up and runs fine. Winding crank is missing the wooden handle. The underside of the radio appears complete and looks new if a bit dusty. So, does anybody hae any information/advice about this unit before I dive in & try to get it running? Any idea what it might be worth? I googled around a bit & found where at an auction in 2001 an identical (uncased) radio sold for $300.00!

Thanks, Mark
