Looks like an old mono Concord...but it's hard to make out the writting on the machine? A two piece unit anyway...seperate transport and amp unit...probably a pro machine for its day, back in the late 40's or early 50's?

Jeff! 
thanks for lead-thought! 
I'm not sure why I care to know ...heh heh .., was gathering some info about horns etc, so got to Klipsch's place and his machine's photo has got into my head sort of like a bad song, that you can't get rid of
was searching for 'concords' ..have not found anything like it. then went to that "reel-to-reel museum site" ( http://reel2reeltexas.com/index.html )... and by browsing through photos - got IT!
it's Berlant Concertone 20/20 or what ever exact name/title it was
here are some direct shots:

There are actually 4 candles, but one is hidden behind the center-front candle, so that’s clearly the missing Marilyn Monroe tape on the reel-to-reel. First you will observe the candles are out, so they’ve recently been in the wind. Now just do the math.
There are 3 shadows of the 4-candle candelabra.
Mr. Klipsch has his right hand hidden, which tells us to subtract the number of candles from the number of candle shadows. 12 - 4 = 8. August is the 8th month of the year.
Next count the fingers on Mr. Klipsch’s visible hand. That’s right… 5 for the 5th day. Now note there are 6 windage holes in each reel and there are 2 reels, which gives us the next piece of the puzzle… a 6 and a 2, as in 62.
Finally, look at Mr. Klipsch’s feet. The toe pointing towards the camera is as the big hand of a clock and is in the 12 o’clock position. The right foot is the small hand and is in the 2 o’clock position.
Marilyn Monroe died at approximately 2:00 A.M. on 8/5/62 (though the death certificate says she was pronounced dead at 3:45 A.M, it’s estimated she actually died around 2:00).
So, there you have it… Simple, eh? Man, you guys need a keeper.

hmmmm. Should I take it as a lead thought to the answer: "Genuine leather, most popular size". ?Beck said:Ah... That's another story -- Paul's feet.
(back in the old days it was either genuine leather either no shoes at all, which is a form of genuine leather on its own.

Lovely piece of Watsonarian (or is it Watsonian, or Holmesian???) deduction, surely made my thursday night... listening to Frampton, as in Peter that is!
Many Thanks!!!
