This vintage working Montgomery Ward airline phonograph is a true gem for collectors. Made in the United States in 1954 – 1955, it features a classic design and is equipped with 3 tubes and 3 speeds that include 78s. The brand is well-known for its quality, and this phonograph is no exception. Once the tubes warmed up, it began spinning the turntable relatively well. An old 78 was tested for sound quality and operating the auto drop feature. However, once play was selected on the multi option dial, the record dropped and the arm smoothly went over as it should. The turntable has nice felt atop of it. As I messed with dials, slight static could be heard. With a needle and possibly an internal check of wire connections, this would make a very nice player for your old records. Power type and voltage. Alternating Current supply (AC). Permanent Magnet Dynamic (PDyn) Loudspeaker (moving coil). Leather / canvas / plastic – over other material. Model: Airline 978 Phonograph – Montgomery Ward & Co. Tablemodel, portable with any shape – general. 15 x 8.25 x 16.75 inch / 381 x 210 x 425 mm. Model Airline 978 is a 3-speed automatic phonograph. Price in first year of sale.
