Help identifying this phonograph? E1764 or E1765 from 1957?
#1

We've found this in my wife's, Grandmothers attic after she passed. It looks to be in very good condition, so we're trying to decide if we should keep it or sell it. Part of that will be determining what it actually is Icon_smile

This is a picture that my wife just sent me to do some research on. Unfortunately she didn't look for a model number tag anywhere, but I'll do that when I get over there too. In the meantime, I thought maybe the experts could help out Icon_smile

If anyone can give an estimated value of something like this, that would be great too.

As a general observation of mine, sets of this era... how to put it politely? I suspect its sentimental value far surpasses the cash value you could get out of it under just about any circumstance. They aren't quite old enough to be considered "antique" yet, but if you find the right hipster...

Ha, no sentimental value with it all, which is why I'm here asking about it Icon_smile

We may keep it an re-purpose the cabinet, I'm going to plug it in and see if it works tomorrow.

HHHHHHHHIcon_exclaim That's, like,uh,un-jivey, man... another one, like,uh, headed down to the lower depths in the pit of despair. Man. Daddy-o. That's cruel... Icon_think Sorry. Couldn't resist. Icon_mrgreen But that does look to be in pristine shape (from the blurry photo)

Does it have a radio in it as well or just the phonograph?

This is the worst thing you can do to a piece of vintage electronic equipment, because it is a big gamble. It may work...it may smoke...it may trip a breaker. Or it could even catch on fire.

Vintage electronics should be thoroughly checked by someone who knows what to look for (bad electrolytic capacitors which should always be replaced before applying power, any tar or wax seeping from power transformers) before power is applied.

But if you're determined to really plug it in and see what happens...all I can do is quote Clint Eastwood:

...You've gotta ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky? ...Well, do ya, punk?
