Mystery Control Demonstration
#8

gary rabbitt Wrote:Hi Bob,
Really nice demo of the Mystery Control and the Beam of Light phono in your second video. I never saw one in action, and now I will know what I am looking at in case I find one.

I was wondering about the other tone arm on the left side, if indeed that was another tone arm. I wouldn't think this was a phono with a cutting head.

Thanks!
Gary.

Hi Gary;
The other tone arm is a cutting head. It's an HR-1 Home Recording Unit optional accessory. It is functional, but I have so few blank discs that I rarely use it. This Radio was Philco's top of the line in 1941 and had all of the bells and whistles.
Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
Bob
