    Description

    Excellent piece of History!
    HOW OFTEN DO YOU FIND A PIECE LIKE THIS THAT LOOKS GOOD AND WORKS????
    I bought this lovely piece from a lady who kept it after her grandmother passed away.  I found part of the manual online (I didn't want to pay for the full version).  I believe this to be in the 1940's era.
    While I was working to restore the cabinet, my fiancé was trying to get the electronics working.  When I heard the radio and phonograph playing, I STOPPED!
    I'd like to see someone who is more experienced then I am to complete the restoration of this piece.
    Cabinet:
    Approximate measurements:
    34"H x 25"W x 16"D
    Power:
    Electric, and Everything Works!!  Also, see picture of tubes lit up.
    Check out the 3 video's on YouTube listed as:  GE Phonograph Combination Model 740
    Radio:
    IT WORKS!!
    The face plate is in excellent condition.
    Record Changer:
    IT WORKS!!
    Is on metal slides and pulls out part of the way using the knob in the front.
    The felt appears to be in decent shape.
    I believe the part number for this item is P15.
    Speaker:
    Speaker cone needs replaced.  I'll be including a non original Knight speaker.  The speaker grill cloth was half gone, but I have a small piece of the original material.
    This is a great piece of history, and would be even better once it's restored!!
    Please see my pictures for condition and what's included in this listing.
    I can send more pictures if needed and a video of everything playing for those serious buyers.
    Coming from a smoke-free home.
    Thanks for looking!
