Louis Armstrong's Audio Gear

The Washington Post ran an article last week about the Louis Armstrong museum releasing some of his home recordings online. The photograph at the top of the article shows the jazz legend in his den in 1958 with his audio gear in the background: what looks like two reel to reel decks, an amplifier, a record changer and a speaker. The amp looks like an Eico, but I'm having trouble identifying the other components in the background. Anyone who's more savvy with '50s audio components can identify the others?

Since no one else has responded yet, I'll try to take a stab though my knowledge of pre-1960s hi-fi is limited

Eico HF-32 amplifier
Webcor or Garrard changer/turntable
Grundig portable reel to reel decks
Electro-Voice or Utah speaker

Did I get any of them right?
