RCA 2-ES-38, released in 1952 by RCA Victor, the actual turntable was made by Voice Of Music, the amplifier and chassis was made by RCA.
Just doing a little dance of joy, after a couple more hours of work, this record player is finishing it's first record in probably 2 or 3 decades !
The record changer is still a little hit and miss, a series of levers and mechanisms determine the size of the record and once in a while, it will think the second record is a 7 inch instead of a 12 inch. It seems to get the first record right, but the second is sometimes wrong.
I starting to think it may just be wear in the mechanism, everything seems to be free moving.
Not a big deal to me, I'm happy to have it up and running and sounding pretty good as well. It was a completely broken mess when I got it.
Now to see if I can clean up the outside a little.
