RCA Victor console stereo phonograph, missing it's speakers and stereo guts. I'm betting 1940's.
I've missed making things even though I've done plenty of painting on walls and ceilings lately, so I thought I'd try doing a piece of furniture for the house. You can probably guess where I'm going, and if not, it'll just be that much more of a surprise.
The City Union Mission thrift store had it for $60, way more than I would pay. I went back yesterday to look at it and all furniture was 40% off. Thankfully the floor staff agreed with me that it was furniture and not electronics, which were not discounted.I bet it was a lovely piece in its day, hopefully I can pull off what I'm hoping to do and it will be again. It'll be a while before you get an after shot, if it works I don't want to show it until both it and it's room are done.

We have a near identical piece which we turned into a powder room vanity. Works great that way.
Winner winner! It just screams vanity doesn't it. I was looking for something thinking I would have to remove the top...and then hello hinged lid!
Oh I can't wait to see it -i love your before and afters. and for that price -amazinG!
Pins and needles. PINS AND NEEDLES!
It's gorgeous wood, stuff you just can't find nowadays. Will be very pretty whatever you do with it.
Oh yes, David this will be perfect! Can't wait to see it..your creativity always comes out!

Fantastic find, can't wait to see it reborn. Whatever you do, I know it will be tasteful.
Meant to be. I think it will be happier at your house playing water music.
