From the looks of the wood I'd guess the fabric rotted off! doug621ts 10-07-2006, 01:00 AM Is the case on this set original?

This set usually has channels 2-13 making it more a 1949 model instead of the typical 1-13 on the earlier models. Dont see these too often but better to find a nicer set. polaraman 10-07-2006, 01:17 AM I was not going to buy the set. I Thought it was strange that nobody had bid. The cabinet was real suspect to me. Was thinking that somebody made a homebrew cabinet. I got a free record player with the cloth covering. Mice had chewed most of the covering off. :nono: polaraman |
