Too bad not near me-for that your dollar goes a long way-beautiful peice of Hi-Fi gear even if the speakers show thru the grill covers.My Mom had one made after this one.Sadly some of these are victims of the "breakers" they gut the unit and sell the components-Guitarists love the bass speakers.The amps go to Hi-fi guys.It is an excellent power Bi-amp.

Stromberg Carlson Classic Radio/Phono
I have seen 3 or 4 of these Stromberg Carlson "Oriental" cabinets but only as televisions. A couple of them had been gutted and converted into liquor cabinets. This is the first radio/phono model I've seen. The top on this is damaged but since it's black lacquer refinishing it doesn't seem like a major project. Having the receiver section repaired and rebuilt would be worth the expense. Fortunately the record changer is the 78 rpm original and most likely fixable too. This would make an enjoyable project after which you would have a very nice piece. On ebay, $50 opening bid. In Arcadia which is not that far from me, but with a half-dozen "projects" still waiting for my attention I'll pass.
I'm not too sure if members still look at this topic...

I'm always looking, LOL! I just can't buy unless I move into a huge loft or warehouse. 
That oriental cabinet is elaborate - not exactly my style but if finished, nice conversation piece.
