FrankJust picked up this gorgeous sixties Philips radiogram for ten bucks, which is ridiculous. Look how beautiful it is!
The radiogram has had some thorough investigation. It works, partially! Radio makes some sounds, it needs an antenna to pick up stations. Record player does not but could be a new belt is required. There's a green valve light that comes on and changes when you tune into a station, which is very cool. Needs some new capacitors. And legs, am on the hunt for some of those. Found one online that had been restored and sold for $4k! Insanity.

Make Subaru Gay Again@vwdasher does it actually still work? if not that would be cool to throw a little pc in there and use it as a media player
@makesubarugayagain I do not know yet! It needs a thorough clean first then will do some testing.
fosdembsd@vwdasher Looks you have a Philips Aristona Plano, enjoy :)
@fosdembsd that's it! Oh wow, it needs legs! Lovely, thank you for that! That electrical diagram will be handy.

Gorgeous! From a time when radiograms were important pieces of furniture. Are the speakers built in?

@blingoali I think there's one, I haven't had the chance to examine it closely yet. It needs a good clean and some legs.
Coles Street Pothole@vwdasher @blingoali Worth the purchase even if it doesn't work at all.
@ColesStreetPothole @blingoali absolutely. I'll be giving it a good check to see if it's safe to plugin and then see if it works, soon.
@vwdasher @blingoali I can smell that warming up from here. 😎
@blingoali just had a look and there's speakers built in in each end!
