Need guidance in selecting a Lowboy
#5

It was a very common tube line up in the late 20's and early 30's.
Personally I don't really like the refinish job that was done to it. Looks like the was stained rather than toned and is too dark. Over here on the right coast have seen them go for 65-$125. It's somewhat of a common set. As you know consoles arn't in high demand these days.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
