1962 television set with record player and radio (Silvertone Entertainment Center) UPDATED

By MattAttack, 30 August, 2019
Description

A 1962 television set with a built in radio and record player. One owner. It was in my Grandmother's living room for 50 years until we moved it to the basement. The radio part says Sears Silvertone, no idea if that's just the radio manufactor or the whole unit. But my grandparents did love buying things from Sears. Stands about 2 1/2 feet tall and almost 5 feet long. It's somewhere around a 22 or 23 inch TV.

EDIT -  I have found some additional information from a Sears Christmas Catalogue (I added the pic.) This is apparantly a 1962 Silvertone Home Entertainment Center (Traditional Mahogany.) It was around 400  to 430 dollars in 1962. That would put it at about $3,500 in today's cash when you factor in inflation.

As far as I can tell, this is the last Silvertone Home Entertainment Center left in existence. I can find no other evidence or pictures of this television anywhere else on the internet.

Sadly there is almost no demand for these currently, comparable consoles fall to get bids at auction or sell for under $150.00
