IMG_20250303_145502640.thumb.jpg.45c501d04967714ecc41eb649bf013d0.jpgThis was my grandparents' and my mother is downsizing and has no place to put it. I don't know if the electronics work, but as a piece of furniture it is in pretty good shape (some scratches and scuffs but solid) and beautiful. I'd love for it to go to someone who would appreciate it.  Dimensions are 37" across, 17" deep,  3" high.  

 

$75 or best offer and you'll have to arrange transport. She is moving later this month so please respond ASAP, and please pass on to anyone in that area that might be interested.  

 

Photos attached.

Wow, that's a dead ringer for the Zenith console my parents had back in the 1950s, especially the cabinet design and layout of the internals. The record changer had the CobraMatic arm and the turntable was 16-33-45-78; the radio had the green tuning eye. Brings back the memories....

I think I'm more sentimental about it than my mother is, and would love for it to end up somewhere it would be appreciated, even if I end up giving it away.  Thanks for the comment, Henry!
