For the price of a replacement stylus we finally have an appropriate device to play those antique music disk things!!! We have been looking around for the last year, waiting for 'our' console to come and last weekend at a neighbors garage sale this 1968 silvertone was offered to us if we would get it out of the driveway !!!. Yeah, sure ya'betcha !

1968 Silvertone Console

Home - the electronics cleaned and tested, we found the tuner and amplifier worked great and the disk player needed a $4 stylus we ordered promptly... Very cool tunes now fill the music room and NO (in answer to my youngest sons query) it does not only play old radio stations !

Amplifier worked great, just needed a stylus and a clean up.
