Found a Midwest Radio/Phono PICS ADDED
#1

OK, I really didn't need another console...........BUT...........I have never seen a Midwest anything in person around here. So this showed up on CL this weekend and I went today and bought it.

I could not find a model # on it but it has 2 speakers, a woofer and a tweeter. the phono I believe is the type that throws the record into a box to the left of the player. So far the best I can come up with it is from 1935 or '36 based on what the dial setup looks like.

Forgot to bring my camera, and didn't get a tube count. Will be going back to pick it up with a p/u truck. Will post pics when I get that puppy here. This is the one I have for now.
