It's very nicely made, nothing personal but quite frankly, I hate it. It's an over the top, gaudy, Louis the 16th style cabinet, there isn't any one thing I don't like about it, any one detail is nice on it's own so much as the way they are put together. My first thought when I saw it was that someone fitted a Philco 16 chassis into a Stromberg or a GM radio cabinet, but both of those were more conservative, so it has to be an aftermarket job.
