This one has seen better days, but is totally restorable. The cabinet is aluminum, so it can be sanded and repainted to get rid of the sticker residue. The grill cloth is not horrible, but it is replaceable. The tone arm, I suspect, is a Tonal 1 that has come apart. The pictures aren't really good enough to tell, but the break looks too clean to be damage. The price is low enough, it would be well worth the effort to fix it. I have this model, but mine is a different color. I believe this one has the hot chassis, 35W4, 12AX7, SE 35EH5 audio output. Single 6" speakers in each enclosure.

How do they sound? The cast aluminum might make a good speaker enclosure.... The arm could be epoxied together, I bet.

The Tonal 1 tone arm has a pivot. I'm not 100% sure how it works. I have a Tonal 1 in an extra changer and it is wonky. I never have investigated what's wrong with it. I'll bet on this one, that pivot has come apart. If worse came to worse, I have a nice extra VM 1200 series changer with the GE "custom" tone arm I could use.
