This is a Sparton console, model 10240,which I have not seen before. It has ten tubes with an Eye tube.
I just picked it up and have not had a chance to get into it,
I was told that it works but I have not tried it yet. The turntable has two speeds, 78 and 33 1 1/3.
All I need now is some information about the turntable. I see it is called the slasher.
So far as I understand it; when the record is done playing an arm lifts the record off the platter and dumps it to the left.
It is a very heavy unit and well built.

One word. Sweet!
Designed to be beautiful to the eye
My great grandfather Zelmo once
received signals that were broadcast from
deep inside an Egyptian pyramid
With a receiver just like that one
Not just a radio or a turntable
It was a large heavy piece of furniture that
probably heated the room in the winter time
The placement ,of the tonearm, to ,the platter
