Brunswick Panatrope Radiola. ( # AR 748 is on the label on the inside rear of the cabinet ) Range 550-1400 kilo cycles. Brunswick- Balke Collender Co. by Radio CorPhono GE model 26359. Radio input watts (max) 50. Tube #s..... ( 4) are UX226........(1) is UX171A.........(1) is UX227 Medallion to the left of the turntable reads....Panatrope...3KR6...106912 ALL LITERATURE I HAVE FOUND CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST ALL ELECTRIC MODELS PRODUCED AROUND 1926 TO 1928. TWO DIFFERENT COLLECTORS LOCALLY HAVE APPRAISED THIS UNIT AT AROUND $400 AS IS, AND $1200 COMPLETELY RESTORED. The previous owner attested that this unit is in working condition mechanically, but cannot be plugged in until much of the wiring is replaced, due to age and drying, and it has become brittle. I have done nothing to it since I bought it, other than cleaning the cabinet and applying a few coats of paste wax, as well as cleaning some of the hardware. There are some very minor, small dings and scratches , and except for a small section of the scroll trim missing, everything is intact and restorable by an experienced collector. The small needle case to the right of the turntable contains spare needles. I assume they are unused. Please contact me with any questions you may have, or any further information you may require. I do not offer shipping on this item. It weighs about 300 lbs. and obviously is fragile. Cash and carry only on this one, folks. It is located in southern New Hampshire. User-245555 (Exeter, NH)
