The unit has been totally gone through and restored. I replaced all the main capacitors and one of the 5 tubes. All tubes were tested and passed manufactures' quality minimums. The changer was degreased, cleaned, relubricated and carefully adjusted. The capstan drive belts were also replaced and the turntable drive wheel was re-rubbered This cute unit built in 1952 received a new cartridge and needle.This Admiral has a strong AM radio and a 3 speed record changer which plays 78, 33, and 45 RPM records.It is in almost perfect condition save for cracks in the front clear radio dial bezel.I think it probably sounds as good as when it was new.

Around Dodge City and the territories on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. That's with a U.S. marshal and the smell of...Gunsmoke!" Gunsmoke, radio's greatest adult Western, told "the story of the violence that moved west with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it." Return to the wild frontier town of Dodge City with William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. marshal, "the first man they look for and the last they want to meet." These six classic programs from the Golden Age of Radio also feature Parley Baer as Chester, Georgia Ellis as Kitty and Howard McNear as Doc.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was the real-life Nelson family on the air, with all the little adventures that an active middle-class American family might have, and two young boys growing up before their parents' and the television audience's eyes. The Nelsons lived in Hillsdale at 822 Sycamore Road. On TV Ozzie had no defined source of income, and always seemed to be hanging around the house.

The Burns and Allen act, a classic vaudeville routine involving a "Dumb Dora" and a male straight man, proved infinitely malleable. Initially a flirtation act, by the time it was transferred to television it was housed in a standard situation-comedy frame: Burns and Allen played themselves, a celebrity couple, enduring various matrimonial mix-ups.

The Cisco Kid and Pancho are a wonderful pair of rough and ready vagabonds who often are mistaken for outlaws themselves. They are smart enough to use this to their advantage, and get in and out of trouble at the drop of a sombrero. They had trusty steeds that any young cowhand could name - for Cisco, it was Diablo, and Pancho rode Loco. And often, the pair seemed like a couple of crazy devils themselves. Pancho is one of the best sidekicks in Western as he is always rattling on with a sense of humor that is as wide as his belly. He's a lover of the food, while Cisco is obviously a handsome, dashing hero who has an eye for a shady "varmint", or the fair lady in distress that usually thanks him at the end of the episode. From '42 to '45, Jackson Beck played Cisco Kid, and Louis Sorin handled Pancho. Mutual-Don Lee productions took over in '46, and Jack Mather became Cisco, and Harry Lang played Pancho. They continued in the roles until the show's end in '56.
