Packard Bell console stereo

Anyone know anything about this PB console? Approximate year/tubes/etc. It's for sale at an estate sale by me. I just got a console, but this guy looks so good.

I found a similar one on craigslist. Here is the inside:

Is that an oscilloscope? It looks huge!

I have had two packard bell consoles. They both were push pull el84 with 12ax7 pre's. Sound wonderful! Don't let the small output trans fool you!

Both the turntable (I think its a Garrard) and that screen thing suggest a later date than tubes. Just a guess, but check before paying.

I might be wrong but I thought I once saw a tubed one had this preamp. I kinda remember because I thought it was strange. Probably wrong though!

No tubes in it. They wanted $95. I didn't get it.
