Rare Antique Crosley 52 TQ Table Top Phonograph Record Player Vacuum

This listing is for a 1941 antique "Crosley model 52TQ 83 channel" table top tube radio and phonograph turntable. I p lugged the unit in it  powers on. The  indicator lights up  you can hear  static when you move/turn the knobs and switches. When you turn  on the  switch for the turntable, it turns  (see video). Everything looks  complete and  everything looks cosmetically in {very  good} condition.  Wooden box looks great for 80+ years  old. It does have a few areas of wear (see  photo's). Electric cord in  great shape. Still has the needle.  This would  be an fantastic piece for  someone with expertise in old electronics, that can  figure it out and get it to work as it should . A beautiful  item for display.  It is a little dusty  as I found it. I have not made any attempt to clean it. I have done tried to describe this  radio to the  best of my ability. If  you have any  questions or concerns  please contact me prior to purchasing. Measures approximately 15 1/2" D x 15" W x 12 1/2" H.  Weighs 29 lbs. Sorry,  no P.O. boxes.  Thanks for looking!
