Console ID Help

[lifer70]

About to purchase this console but cannot find anything to ID this.
Any help on what it is and worth would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure, but it looks like an old maggie console with the horn tweets:scratch2:

What it's worth? I have no idea....

I vote Curtis Mathis for the cabinet styling

You never cease to amaze me with your console knowledge!

Is there some connection between software engineers and consoles? You write code and I've been writing CAD software for ~28 years. Coincidence? You decide!

That title actually goes to orthophonic, he's likely forgotten more console minutiae than I'll ever gain. :yes:

Definitly C/M later than 62 not much though maybe 63 -65 ? 62 and earlier had CD( Civil defense conelrad station markings )on the dial glass that were required from. 53-63 so they could tell us the Soviets launched ICBM's and or Bombers also if we got ours off or
vise versa and maybe if anybody was left afterwards . http://www.northernelectric.ca/radios/cdmarks/cdmarks.htm

The wed. air raid siren tests we have today are a carryover from that era some were even powered by Chrysler Hemi V8 engines .

Some folks even had fully stocked fallout shelters with food water ,etc. along with batteries and radios. Some still do. Now you can buy converted abandoned missile silos or condo units in them ,or nike installations or buy them unfinished and DIY a mega shelter .

The woofer is actually a C/M speaker they actually made their own speakers then the horn I don't know .
There are pictures of speakers being made at the CM plant at the CM vintage website

Here is a link to Glenn Waters 'official' vintage C/M site lot's of pictures and info there.

Pretty sure is a EL84 push-pull.
Be ready to recap it, she'll sing great after you do.
