The Zenith "Moderne," with it’s original cart and cylindrical speakers, is a mid-century modern treasure. The record-changer turntable was manufactured by The Voice of Music / V-M, the world's largest record changer manufacturer. Because the cart was an optional upgrade (an extra $24.95 at the time!), you're unlikely to find one this complete and fully functional. The Moderne was a flagship offering from Zenith's vintage "Circle of Sound" series, and was considered quite the bee's knees. Let's go daddio!
