These 3 appear to be in very nice shape.
I cannot I.D. the first console, but it does have FM.
The record changer is not a V-M from tweaking the
photo.
Nice complementary controls and grille cloth.
The second Pacific-Vogue console has a hot chassis
small amp, with an early 1950's V-M 950 style changer.
I really like the cabinet/control design on that.
It looks a lot like a V-M model.
And last, but not least, a very fine looking Magnavox.
I'm thinking from the late 1940's ?

Re: Some Nice Small Consoles
The second one... the manufacturer misspelled "superheterodyne" on the label. Not a sign of technical sophistication!

All three a nice-looking units. The second one is a brand I have never heard of, but sure looks like something VM would have built. Even the knobs look like VM knobs.

Re: Some Nice Small Consoles
I'm guessing the second one is a department store brand. Would VM have built something with a cheap-looking dial?. Parts of it, like the back, look homebrewed. The first one has a dial that looks like Stewart-Warner to me.

Don't see too many things manufactured in Hollywood, besides motion pictures. Never heard of Pacific Vogue.

Re: Some Nice Small Consoles
That's kind of why I think VM built it for Pacific Vogue. I know VM built for other companies as I have a Silvertone tabletop that was built by VM for Sears.
