Ended up with 5 consoles this last weekend. Three tube models, two SS. The older ones need refinisnhing on the cabinets, but the newer ones are good to go.

Now the bad news: the wife wants me to gut one of these to make a china cabinet and gut another for a wine cabinet. I really do not want to, but if forced, are the parts worth anything to someone? I do not want to throw them out.

The first is supposed to early 50s. It is an electrohome. The grill work and all handles are solid copper!

Another Electrohome, early 50's I would assume. AM, SW only, no FM.

Kinda cool the way the controls are hidden below a lift up cover.

A big Grundig console. PE turntable.

Any idea what the white thing in the 4th pic is?

Note the 45 RPM adaptor is there for the PE turntable.

Might be a goose cooker. Mine that is, if I refuse to gut these beauties.

Holder/display of the album cover for the LP being played. Just a WAG.

Manitoulin, you're gonna make me cry! As much as I understand "keeping the peace" with SWMBO, those are some very pretty units... :yes:

That or a stacker for 45s?

Man, nice pieces...like the shimmering grain in the SS unit.

If it could take the weight, the Grundig might make a cool stand for my h/k components...

Imagine the looks I would get if I slide the doors open and people see a Citation 16 lurking behind.

Nah. I would rather keep it totally stock.

Is there anyone out there who might like to take ownership of the 2nd Electrohome unit?
