Name that tuner.........

[Meely]

Hello Gang,

I was hoping I could get some more information on a recently found item I came across....and purchased.

Its a Rogers Majestic Radio but I am not sure from what year it might be or what model it is.

The back of the cabinet has a small "B510" stamp on it. Working from what pictures are posted on-line, I was able to find a model that came close but have not been able to find this one.

 

 

 

 

Anyone have any clue as to what model and year this might be?

Anyone have a link I might check out as well?

 

Thanks for your help.
