I bought this at an auction, I need to know its worth, it is working. Also, why does it have two arms and a stand alone old microphone that plugs into the unit. Great condition.

Your machine has the optional home recording feature. It could actually cut records. The pickup and record cutter in this machine are crystal, and have doubtless deteriorated over time.

These units are quite attractive when in nice condition, and they play very well indeed.

A couple of years ago I purchased a beautiful restored example with a rebuilt radio and rebuilt crystal pickup at the Lansing Radio Meet auction. I paid either twenty-five or thirty dollars for it.

As attractive as these machines are, they are not heavily in demand. I would suspect that the REALISTIC sales price for a clean though un-restored original example with a fine finish would be between fifty and seventy-five dollars at the outside, depending upon location. Less in the "Radio Belt" of the Midwest, where prices are lower because supply is so great.
