Westinghouse H-122-A 1946 Combination Radio and Phonograph
This Westinghouse Model H-122 unit from 1946 combines an attractive Bakelite tube radio with a wooden case phonograph record player. The radio slips out from the phono case and will work as a stand-alone radio.
The entire combo measures about 18" by 14-3/4" by 8-3/4" high. The radio itself is 13-1/4" by 5-1/4" by 8-1/2" high. The radio powers up quickly and plays great - loud and clear. I'm not sure how well the phonograph works as it's missing the power cord - there's a plug for it in the recessed hole in back. I do know that it will need a needle however, there isn't one present.
The radio is a rich mottled brown Bakelite with gold trim on the horizontal louvers. All 4 knobs work fine and as mentioned, the radio plays very well, but the radio station indicator panel is missing from the top. The case has no cracks, chips, warping or other damage, though there are some pinpoint flecks of white paint on one side near the top. I flaked a couple off easily but prefer to let someone who knows what they're doing remove the rest to avoid damaging the finish. Also the power cord is brittle and cracked.
The wood record player case is also free of cracks or chips but it does have finish wear and some light scratching, mostly on the cover. Even before cleaning up it still displays beautifully as you can see. I took the photos right after purchase and did nothing but make a quick swipe at the dust.
