This may very well be the first consumer grade recording device designed to time-shift broadcasts.

For quite some time I've looked around on the web and into other sources and I cannot find any consumer based equipment prior to this type of recording device that was equipped with a timer.

The problem was that in 1947 when these were being manufactured, television was coming into its own . Also, the cost of this system was rather pricey and only about 500 of these consoles were ever sold.

Condition
I'm sure this needs service before it goes into a working environment so you must be comfortable working with wire recorders, Has some minor wear wear from the years of use and storage. I could adjust the sound, turn it on and off and it would spin. I think theirs a bulb above the clock and i couldn't get it to turn on. The Play, Rewind and stop buttons work, The recording was not tested, since I'm not sure how to use it. The bag has a broken handle. Please look through the pictures to see the condition of the Lot and whats included.
