FOR SALE: Capehart 111M-FM2 Radio/Phonograph - $875/BO

[PeterF]

Some of you may have seen the recent thread elsewhere on the forum, where the group helped me identify my "surplus" Capehart, here:

http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =2&t=28811

It's a:

- model 111M-2FM
- introduced in 1941 as a 1942 model
- cabinet style Early Georgian
- optional two-speaker configuration
- tuner includes optional FM band
- serial number 17924 places it safely before the introduction of pot metal into the mechanism

Well, now that the research is done it's time for it to start its journey to its next owner. If you've never seen the amazing flipover changer in action, it's really something to see. Here, take a look at an example of one just like mine:

Take a close look at the photos in the thread linked above, and if you're interested or have any questions, let me know here. It's in as-found original condition, unrestored and complete except for the back panels over the tuner and amp areas. See also here: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/farnsworth ... rgian.html

It's in the San Francisco bay area, and delivery is possible within a few hundred miles for gas money. I'll be going up to Oregon in early April, and to LA in early August as well, and can bring it to either of those places or points enroute. Finally, I've spoken to Jerry Blais, and he is willing and able to safely transport it to the Union IL phono show in June for $150, in case that makes it easier to decide.

Open to offers and/or partial trades of interesting phonos and radios, etc.
