No pictures.... That means it is super rare!
I sent a few pictures to the radio museum so we will see what happens.
I think it is getting restored but I would really want an original phonograph.
I posted this same question on another board (yes I am cheating on you guys) and everyone says restore it.
I will never repurpose antique radios so that is out...
I will strip it today and if it looks awesome I will do something with it.
I really need a true unsalvageable crap condition falling apart missing the radio cabinet to use for the veneer.
Question:
Is this cabinet burled walnut?
Times I have been electrocuted in 2021
