I've sent him a message thanks. Couldn't find the exact listing to buy it but I saw it. Thank you. Edit,...
I ordered it. Thanks again. Its a miracle you found that

That's a magnetic pickup. Providing the rubber hasn't petrified it should sound dynamite on a 78.

I watched your video. I have a Fisher 500C running with Bose Interaudio speakers connected to a high fidelity sound card in my computer. Your Philco sounds as good as it looks. Very nice, you might like the way You Belong to Me by Jo Stafford sounds on that console.
