CL - Silvertone 7085 - Radio/Phono/Wire - S. King Co., Wa.

Curious machine. Small and easily collectable. Inexpensive.
$50 US

Edit: CL link removed; it mistakenly pointed to a crap-o-phone; and the Silvertone machine is now gone.

Yes, these are fun machines only manufactured for a few years in the late '40s and early '50s before tape technology replaced the wire spools. I have one and have posted a couple videos on YouTube of it in operation. It is interesting to find old spools and see what folks were recording at that time, much like collecting home-recorded disks.

Here is a one-of-a-kind video that is truly entertaining, the you man does a fantastic job as Jr. DJ. - [YouTube]https://youtu.be/U-6Zmon1_-o[/YouTube]

Sorry. Clipboard malfunction.

I cannot not remedy this error now because the machine is gone from CL.
