Yep, that's Big Tea on vocals, tenor soloist sounds like Coleman Hawkins. This was an ad hoc group of deluxe musicians who all found themselves on the West Coast in the early 1940s. Brilliant. . .
Very nice machine! One correction: it CAN play 12 inch records - the pusher shelf on the left rotates 180 degrees. Notice it has notches on both sides of the shelf as well as two rubber tabs on the shelf clip. I have one that belonged to my grandparents from probably around the same time frame as yours, but besides the turntable it has only and AM radio.
Hi maxbest2. Thanks for the comment and the information. I never gave any thought to playng 12" 78 records, but it is good to know that it does. I do have a few of those.
You continue to amaze me-just a wonderful unit-can't say I did the brassy jazz but my dad loves this stuff! Hey needledaddy let me return the cartridge and learned the needle in it was bad.He sent me another cartridge with money for the postage I paid to return the defective one-pretty nice guy! Hope to have my RCA back up and blasting tomorrow!
I am glad you got the cartridge problem worked out and can get your RCA going again. I like buying from ebay sellers that stand behind what they sell.

Who are the artists on this recording? The vocalist sounds like Jack Teagarden.
