This is an odd one. Can you post a photo of the front of the radio?

My original intent was to purchase a radiola 18 from the selling and he asked me to him a favor and take the Phonola too, which I was glad to, since I have a smaller one. I look past the torn fabric and the exterior and see a beautiful radio . I actually started sanding it last night and it is only the surface finish that is aged. As for the radio I will need a lot of work since a mouse moved in and I had to remove the nest. On a good note, after testing the tubes passed except the magic eye tube . Soooo that leaves me to the main challenge of finding a schematic, also I found the glass display cracked but I have a plan to restore that using ‘sublimation’ printing on glass ( my hope anyways )

This is the only thing that comes close to the radio https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/electrohom_phonola_7t83_p.html#

Well, on the bright side it can certainly be considered rare.
