Vintage Tube Meissner Radio Phono Recorder Record Cutter/Lathe w/Manual 9-1065

Description

Here is a very nice Vintage Tube Type Meissner Model 9-1065 Radio Phono Recorder Record Cutter Lathe in Fair Condition.  Comes with the microphone, 3 new audiodiscs, and instruction manual with schematics.  Powers on and tuner light comes on and I was able to tune in radio stations without an antenna but there is a hum, much like many old tube radios that have not been played in years.  Tone knob and tuning knob and dial and light are working.  Has 2 volume knobs and 2 microphone jacks, and a gain switch (normal and high) which all also seem to work.  The main center knob has settings for: radio only, phono playback, record mike, record radio, and public address, these all seem to work also.  There is a turntable on/off switch which works and I can hear the turntable motor running but the turntable did not spin on its own.  The turntable spins very freely, when you give it a spin with your finger, it almost never stops, there is also a switch for 33 and 78 records which also seems to work as I can hear the difference in the turntable motor.  There is a short black jack that plugs in the front by the handle, I think it is for a different sound or microphone feed but not positive.  Stylus on the playback arm seems ok and needle on the cutter arm seems ok, there are no extra needles. Tweed on the case is fairly tattered, but case and latches and handle are all very solid. In summary and my opinion I think there are only 2 main issues from fully operational:  fix the hum, and possibly a belt or link that turns the turntable.  Instruction manual and schematics seem clear and complete.  There is a flip down compartment on the lid to store the audiodiscs.  In the right front the needle compartment lifts up when you unscrew the center screw for storage.  Very nice piece of radio phono history.  Measures 20x20x9" and weighs 46 pounds.
