Unless I am mistaken, that is a Majestic 90B console set.

A good playing set when restored, but they are very heavy.

Majestic made some of the heaviest radios of the early-AC era. Be VERY careful if you buy it and have to move it, as some models do not have the power-supply unit bolted down!

Usually the pair of 45's have been taken. If they're good, they might be worth as much as or more than the whole radio. The 45's don't have to test that strong to work on this model, so if you have weak ones, don't sweat it.

I am actually having hernia surgery next week.... and like to think that my Majestic 90B is responsible for it. :)

Agree they are not worth a great deal, but I was impressed how sensitive mine was after recapping it.

Also, no power supply hum at any volume level. None. Was fortunate to not have any of the pot metal tuner gang issues either.

You could-buy it, sell the tubes for $$$, gut it and install an AM FM Cassette solid state chassis, refinish the cabinet with spray on urethane, and flip it back on craigslist for more money. Well, isn't that what happens?
