Any ideas on what this console might be? tubes?.

The tuner and what I see of the changer makes me think Magnavox. That sure looks like a Collaro over-arm. If thats what it are, its tubed. The Collaro changers that had an over-arm with a hole in the middle to drop over the spindle seem to have gone away around 1960.

Agreed. The knobs look Maggie also.

I was thinking maggie too, I'm wondering if it's stereo or mono?

I read somewhere that Collaro record players/turntables were re-branded Garrards.

Gonna see if I can find the article again.

Yup, Maggotbox. I think that's got a 196 SE amp in it.

Not true, but Collaros were made in England, as were Garrards. Collaro changers are nothing to sneeze at if you are into changers. Magnavox bought them eventually, not sure exactly when, but I believe it was the very early sixties.
