I don't know anything about Airline, but this looks like it's a nice console with woofers on the side like a lot of Magnavox units. For the price I don't think you could go wrong.

Would be fun to restore! Notice the AA cell attached to the tonearm. Probably ruined many a record!

Airline was the house brand of Montgomery Ward. Much of their electronics was made by Wells Gardner. If WG made that console, it is well built and likely a good performer.

Agreed on the generally high build quality of W-G. Airline electronics were popular, judging by the number I see, at least in the '30s. M-W had outlets in lots of smaller communities, like Sears.

That is a nice looking cabinet, like it should be an ST.

The only real gripe I have with WG is their use of Automatic IF transformers rhat are prone to suffering from SMD......
